Schumacher has introduced this Legacy Front-End Conversion for its Eclipse 6 1:12 kit.  Offering a simple, low-maintenance front-end design focused on consistent performance and improved drivability, the simplified design significantly reduces maintenance requirements while delivering long-lasting damping performance between rebuilds.  Designed to enhance driver feel and consistency, the conversion provides more natural, predictable handling and greater feedback from the front end, helping drivers build confidence and feel more connected to the car.  The Conversion is compatible with Schumacher’s U4845 Front Spring Tuning Set, and mass damper springs.  The Schumacher team utilised the conversion at Masters of Foam 2026, achieving some strong results and demonstrating its potential in high-level competition.
