Schumacher Mi4LP Pro & Race Touring cars

Schumacher Mi4LP Pro & Race Touring cars

Schumacher have introduced the Mi4LP, their next high performance electric touring car. Designed by Schumacher’s world championship winning engineering team, led by Phil Booth and developed by 5 time British touring car champion Chris Grainger and the Schumacher Race Team. Touring cars are changing and once again the Schumacher design team have hit the mark with the Mi4LP. With the universal usage of LiPo battery technology and now new lower weight limits, massive consideration has to be taken with left to right weight balance. With the introduction of the new narrow LiPo chassis, adjustable motor position and ability to flip the transmission the Mi4LP can be balanced perfectly whatever your radio choice. This new chassis of course retains many of the features that have dominated the domestic touring car scene over the last season

East Coast Bodies DEX410 shell

East Coast Bodies DEX410 shell

East Coast Bodies have released their latest shell, this time for the Durango DEX410, which they claim is an improvement in design over the original. The addition of the supplied front wing helps keep the front end on the ground when under power, while at the rear of the re-profiled main cockpit a kick up in front of the wing improves the jumping by making it more controllable in the air. The rear wing has also had some work with the bottom side featuring 3 new channels for air flow which again helps the car in high speed jumps.
