Schumacher Mi6Evo low 46mm front suspension mounts

Coming from Schumacher and made for the Mi6Evo touring car are new low 46mm front suspension mounts. Available as 1-piece and split variant, the mounts are of a -0.5mm design which lowers the suspension shafts for more front end both and greater setup opportunities. Included in the bags are enough 0.5mm washers to get back to the standard pin height. These parts have recently been used by the team in association with the narrow front hex #U3570 to give a smooth feel yet with good steering. The mounts are available separately from now on.

Schumacher Mi6evo 2mm stiff weave carbon chassis

New from Schumacher and coming for the Mi6evo touring car is a 2mm diff weave carbon fibre main chassis plate. Ideally suited for medium to high grip conditions and especially good on carpet the chassis has a similar feeling to that of an alloy chassis yet it is lighter. The 2mm thickness gives a low roll centre and centre of gravity increasing corner speed.

Aerox Cougar KC/KD buggy body shell

UK Aerox distributor Schumacher has introduced a new body shell for the Cougar KC/KD 2WD buggy. The body is designed to improve the aero package of the Cougar KD and particularly KC models. It has a super sleek design, is 13 grams lighter than a standard kit body which greatly reduces the centre of gravity and the chances of traction roll on high grip surfaces. Michal Orlowski used it to great effect at the recent EOS in Poland claiming 4th place from 3rd on the grid and he says: “The new Aerox bodyshell feels great to drive. Car is more agile and rolls round less so it makes you feel more confident. That makes you faster on the track. And it looks awesome too!” The body is supplied in crystal clear polycarbonate with over-spray film, window masks and decal sheet.

Schumacher Eclipse LMP12 carbon fibre link mount

Coming from Schumacher and made for the Eclipse LMP12 pan car is the carbon fibre link mount. The mount gives the option to play with LiPo position. Mounted from the chassis holes in a forward position gives an adjustment of up to 7.5mm. When rear traction is high, moving the LiPo forward can give smoother handling and help to prevent traction roll leading to a car that can be driven harder and faster.
