Schumacher Mi3 190mm touring car Categories - Cars, Electric On Road, Products, Schumacher - comments closed
Yet more new touring cars, this time from British manufacturer Schumacher who are working hard on their new 190mm touring car. The Mi3 has been doing the rounds at various tracks in prototype stage in order to test its response to various track conditions and of course when you go racing your picture will get taken. Little is known except what one can see in the image and that is that it’s dual belt drive as one would expect from a modern touring car, it seems to be extremely low with the center axles mounted higher than the blocks and the most noticeable thing is how narrow the chassis plate is.
UPDATE: You can view 3 more large images of the car here, here and here.
Schumacher weren’t so happy that photos of their new baby were put on RC Tech and so posted this reply… (more…)
