Schumacher Cougar Classic Kit

Relive an iconic era of 2WD buggy racing with the Schumacher Cougar Classic Kit (SCH-K194) — an authentic re-release using much of the original tooling, enhanced with subtle updates for today’s club and vintage events. The original Cougar made its mark by winning the 1990 European Championships with Jurgen Lautenbach, and the Classic returns that winning formula with period-correct engineering and modern practicality.

With a high-quality alloy chassis, efficient fibre-reinforced drive belts and the renowned 14 ball, ball differential invented by Cecil Schumacher in 1978, the Cougar Classic delivers the precise, planted handling enthusiasts remember. A tough polycarbonate bodyshell keeps dirt at bay while original Schumacher tyres complete the retro look.
