Schumacher are pleased to introduce the latest in a long line of successful 1/10th offroad tires, the Mezzo. Featuring a completely new carcass design, where development has focused on the thickness of the profile to support the pin and improve its life. The Mezzo has a varied pin type across the tire, enabling it to be more suitable to a wider variety of track conditions, including long and short pile astro. The pin type gives improved side traction whilst maintaining forward traction. It also lasts longer and has better bump handling, due to its taller sidewall profile. The front 4wd tire is aimed at longer pile astro and lower gip and pins can be cut to reduce traction if required. For 2wd they are still recommending the U6770 Low Profile Cut Stagger combined with Mezzo rear, for a longer life tire set up. Ultimately the popular Dart tire could be faster over a single run in some conditions, but life is much extended with the Mezzo. It’s a great all-rounder. Ultimately the Mezzo is aimed at Astro, Yellow compound for dry high performance, Silver for wet and Blue for longer life.

Schumacher have released their new anti-lozenge top deck conversion for the Mi7. Developed by their drivers over many months, this top deck gives a great tuning option for carpet with the alloy chassis, as well as tarmac with the carbon chassis. Overall it is a softer option with a more symmetrical feel than the kit standard top deck. The anti lozenge post stiffens the car front to back affecting forward traction and stability under braking. The top deck comes with an optional front U brace to stiffen the front of the car if required.

Schumacher have released their latest competition racing design innovation, the mass damper set. The mass damper will reduce the effect small bumps have on the car and changing the mass and oil used will alter the amount of damping. The tuned mass damper will move out of phase with the vibrations caused by bumps which helps to keep the tyres in contact with the track, offering improved traction and lap times. This also helps with improved curb riding capability. Can be used on any car where space allows it to be fixed to the chassis. Use either the 23g or 12g mass depending on track conditions and use the shims to alter the preload on the springs.
Following an earlier teaser, Schumacher have now released the full details of their new formula car, called the Icon. After a long run of successes in multiple electric racing classes, including a double LMP12 World championship, Schumacher’s engineering team have applied their expertise to the formula class. The result is an innovative new approach to RC Formula racing. The Icon is designed for maximum rear traction to make an easy to drive car, but maintains plenty of steering to satisfy the most demanding drivers. The Icon prototypes have been extensively tested and raced in the UK, Germany and Italy, and have proved to be fast and agile. The car features all the adjustments you need to be dialled on both carpet and asphalt tracks.
