RC Maker Digital Caster Gauge Platform for Mi9

New from aftermarket option parts manufacturer RC Maker is this Digital Caster Gauge Platform for the Schumacher Mi9 1:10 Electric Touring Car.  This allows you to use an existing digital angle gauge to read the caster on the recently released Mi9.  If you have one in camber or caster form from the Awesomatix, you can simply remove the old plate and fasten this new plate onto the caster gauge!  It slides on and locates onto the Mi9 with ease, no matter what steering arms you’re using.  This allows you to check the caster with or without a setup station attached to the car.

Power HD Mi9 S15-S direct mount servo

Servo manufacturer Power HD has introduced a brand new direct mount servo S15-S for the Schumacher’s Mi9 1:10 Electric Touring Car.  With an integrated CNC servo holder, this S15-S directly mounts to the Mi9, perfectly matching the original servo mount screw hole.  The direct mounting and reverse receiver wire output offer neater wiring and reduce overall weight, contribute to a lower chassis centre of gravity.  Having the same high performance as the popular S15, the S15-S can be programmed with Power HD program box to set your favourite parameter according to different tracks, achieving better lap time and steering.  It also supports FLYSKY i-BUS2 protocol. The S15-S is being used by World Champion Michal Orlowski in his successful 2024 touring car campaign, with his Schumacher Mi9 fitted with the servo during his latest TQ and Win at the ETS season opener in the Netherlands last weekend.
