Schumacher CAT PB 1:10 4WD Buggy
Schumacher has unveiled their latest 1:10 4WD Buggy, the CAT PB named in honour of the late Phil Booth, Chief Schumacher Designer and former IFMAR World Champion. The all new buggy features a shaft-driven 4WD system, refined suspension geometry, enhanced drivetrain dynamics, and a low centre of gravity layout provide razor-sharp handling. Designed with the racer in mind, the CAT PB also boasts intuitive access and simplified assembly features, making routine maintenance quicker and easier than ever, so you spend less time wrenching and more time winning. The CAT PB comes wrapped in an aggressive, aerodynamic shell from JConcepts and is offered as either a MOD Spec or DIRT Spec kit.
All New Car Design Features
New – (DIRT Spec) Shaft drive system for simplicity and durability with 3 differentials to distribute power more efficiently on low grip tracks. Includes CVD rear Driveshafts and U/J front.
New – (MOD Spec) Shaft drive system for simplicity and durability with 2 differentials to distribute power plus a FAB (Front Adjustable Brake) unit/Slipper to improve heavy breaking on higher grip surfaces like carpet and astro. Includes U/J Driveshafts front and rear.
New – Oil filled small diameter differential design with gasket seal for superior sealing, light weight and durable outputs. Small but with great capacity and low centre of gravity.
New – 80T simple to fit spur gear.
New – Diff height eccentrics with 5 settings to optimise for all grip levels and handling requirements.
New – Fast access transmission housings for speedy differential adjustments.
New – Front & rear U/J (Universal joint) driveshaft’s for durability as well as great bump handling.
New – Stronger front hub carrier bearing assembly.
New – Motor mount and layshaft mount alloy housings, with a laser etched fine graduation scale eccentric adjustment for consistent and easy pinion to spur meshing.
New – Long front wishbone design with moulded anti roll bar ball. Durable large span inner hinge pin bosses for better impact strength.
New – Rear wishbone for improved flex.
New – Suspension pills/inserts for track width, roll centre, toe and anti-squat adjustment. This Increases versatility of setting adjustment as it will allow a multitude of positions suiting all conditions.
New – Front and rear suspension straps/blocks, strong and simple to work on.
New – Rear hinge pins, strong and durable.
New – Rear hub carrier with 7 adjustable heights to tune the wheel stiffness. The camber plate has multiple camber adjustments.
New – Anti roll bar fitment with easier fitment and matching front and rear anti roll bars.
New – S2 4mm shock towers with angle adjustment and camber link positioning to meet all handling requirements.
New – Light weight front bumper design for reduced over hanging weight and material and improve responsiveness of the car. The minimal front bumper offers more clearance on small radius kick up jumps.
New – 7075- T6 2mm aluminium chassis hard anodised, this chassis is durable, light and narrow keeping the weight inboard.
New – Composite side-pods for chassis sealing from dirt ingress and chassis stiffening.
New – Composite centre braces with Carbon fibre top braces for tuneable chassis stiffness.
New – Two point angled mounting servo assembly, for lower centre of gravity, easy access, and direct steering response.
New – Steering centre track assembly, geometry derived from our L1R Recon system. Precise, adjustable and durable.
New – Speed control carbon fibre tray for easier removal.
New – 3 position lipo mounting with angled fit for lower centre of gravity. Quick and secure lipo fitment.
New – Pre drilled tapered shock pistons included.
New – Jconcepts S2 body, for great styling. A perfect design for all conditions.
