Schumacher Mi10 Touring Car

Schumacher has unveiled its latest competition electric touring car announcing their new Mi10 platform.  A car that won this year’s iconic TITC in the hands of Michal Orlowski, it is based on an all new chassis design, developed to provide maximum performance across all track conditions.  Now available in a special 1.2mm spring steel material for lower centre of gravity and increased stability.  The new profile also offers improved and more consistent flex control and therefore a predictable car capable of great lap times.  The Mi10 also gets an updated transmission housings and shock mounts to further improve the centre of gravity by allowing for a new inboard shock design, whilst maintaining the proven suspension geometry on the successful Mi9.  Furthermore, the improved polar moment of inertia provides more rotation and improved flexibility and adjustment solutions for greater performance.  High diff positions are now included as kit spec.

Mi10 Feature List
New – Alloy shock mounts with lightweight, lower centre of gravity design and finer adjustment with spacers. Additional flex adjustment settings are also now available.
New – Lower and more durable rear body mounting solution.
New – Hub carrier design featuring flanged bearings which offers a more precise design with better wheel control and drivetrain efficiency. These also include a threaded insert for the upper ball stud to increase durability.
New – Alloy steering arms for greater strength, ease of assembly and improved handling with better steering response and feeling.
New – Upper link pivot with integrated thread and new moulded body height stopper.
New – Radius arms with further Ackermann adjustment included. Lightweight design and improved belt clearance for ultra-high diff settings.
New – Motor mount design featuring an in-built layshaft and increased motor positioning adjustment. This allows for a wider variety of gear sizes which can offer a more central motor and overall improved weight balance. The new layshaft design increases durability of the spur gear as well as moving it further inwards providing better belt control. A new optional fan mount is also compatible.
New – Anti-roll bar design provides easy accessibility and extra low centre of gravity with compact design, lightweight and clearance of all parts. Now with a spring controlled roll bar adjustment on the chassis side for very easy and accurate setting.
New – Increased diameter turnbuckles for improved strength.
New – Rear link orientation for easier accessibility, to install and remove shocks.
New – C/F link mounts for improved strength and updates with increased spread and position of upper links with improved upper arm flex control.
New – Top decks with refinements to improve performance and clearance to an updated spur gear area.
New – All new grey anodised alloy parts.
New – Lower bumper mount moulding prevents touching down on the track.
