Schumacher Cougar LD3 - the world champion car of 2025. US racer Broc Champlin won the IFMAR title in Australia against fierce competition.

The LD3 improves and refines Schumacher's class-leading 1:10 2WD racing buggy. It has already won numerous national and international race victories, including a world championship podium.

The LD3 is more durable, more user-friendly, lighter and even faster. With 3 different chassis specifications, it is suitable for all track surfaces and conditions.

This #K208 LD3M is optimised for medium to high grip astro and carpet tracks with its more forward engine position "laydown" gearbox.

A fantastic car with great support from the Schumacher team makes the LD3 the best 2WD buggy you can race.
