Schumacher LD3 5-Gear Transmission

Schumacher has release a new five gear transmission for its successful Cougar LD3 1:10 2WD Buggy.  The 5-gear sett-up provides the LD3 with more rotation and gives a different feel to the cars handling.  It is especially good on high grip carpet surfaces as highlighted by the team’s recently us of it to win the EOS in Daun and Florida Carpet Championships.  Manufactured from 3D printed aluminium, utilising cutting edge design software, this advanced approach allowing for a lightweight but strong design, the five gear transmission enables you to run a car which has more mechanical grip, (Rear Toe, Camber Change etc) while still enabling good rotation at high speed on fast open tracks.  Installation of the gearbox parts is simple due to the singular casing which has minimal fastenings to secure them.
