Schumacher Mi4 & Cougar link mounts

Schumacher have announced the released of these two new option parts for the Mi4 and Cougar SV chassis’. The Schumacher Team have been testing these items for some time and they are this 37mm 4 groove carbon fibre link mount (top) for the Mi4 that gives a longer upper camber link, especially good on high speed circuits. The other new part is the 60mm carbon fibre link mount bracket for the Cougar that shortens the front camber link, reducing front end bite.

Alien Racing Legend12 1/12th scale chassis

French brand Alien Racing have released their latest 1/12th scale chassis, the Legend12. The most noticeable thing about this new car is the longitudinal position of the battery. This helps corner faster and reduce yaw in the car in direction change and this layout can accept a 1S LiPo as well as 4 cell NiMh pack. The links connecting the rear pod to the main chassis are made from carbon and are mounted below the electronics to save space. Finally the rear bulkhead sees the motor mounted super low for improved centre of gravity.
