Schumacher Atom/CC low-profile front end

Made for the Atom and Atom CC GT12 pan cars is Schumacher’s new low-profile front end. The key benefits are a reduced king pin offset that is making the car easier to drive while also giving a more linear feeling due to better flex and geometry. The front end also allows for quick and easy camber adjustment with one nut and an adjustable ride height with shims under four points, independent of caster adjustment. Finally it gives more adjustment of the ride height on the kingpin. The assembly requires the #U4866 alloy hub carriers as it cannot be used with kit hub carriers.

Schumacher Atom/CC brass mid weight

Coming from Schumacher and made for the Atom and Atom CC kit is a 120g brass mid weight. Ideal for use with the Atom/CC but also useful for racers using the alloy chassis with lightweight equipment. The part weighs in at 120g and helps to achieve the weight requirements for GT12 racing while also providing more grip and making for an easier to drive car. The front/rear weight distribution is optimised with this part fitted, very centrally, reducing the polar moment of the car and therefore improving handling. Adjustment screws to make each different battery fit perfectly are included.
