NCTS3 Schumacher Cougar Laydown Setup

I was a bit hesitant to post my setups after NCTS3 Round 1 @ 702 RC Raceway for the fact, I knew I could get my cars even better. Even though I won and had a solid car, more was on the track and I have now found it all. I picked up a half second when digging into the areas I could be better.

Posted is my Schumacher Cougar Laydown setup. It's the best 2wd car I've driven on carpet. Steering, grip, corner speed. My ESC settings from my REDS Racing ZX Pro ESC are also listed on the sheet!

Car Notes:
I reversed the front arms for different sweep and ran the long chassis.
Ran an alloy diff and aftermarket idler gear for durability and smoother performance.
The car was equipped with Whitz Bearings and fans for a smooth, cool roll.
Lastly, the car was fully titanium from Klinik RC (screws and turnbuckles).

ESC Notes:
The power band is very numb so to make it more aggressive you can turn up the rates in which it comes on. The only thing I changed after the race was added 10% of drag brake for the high to low speed transitions.
