SXT 3.0 traction compound was designed to provide superior performance in a minimum odour environment for both foam and rubber tyre racing. It has been engineered, tested and proven to be compatible with other additives and it is ideal for the use on both carpet and asphalt tracks. On top of that you can also rejuvenate old foam tyres by soaking them several times.

Schumacher have new optional parts for the Mi5 touring car available in the form of a 2mm stiff weave chassis and Core RC titanium pivot balls. Starting with the chassis, the part is stiffer than the stock kit chassis and ideal when racing in high grip conditions. It also scrubs around 10g of weight while lowering the car’s centre of gravity at the same time. The second new part is a 22 piece titanium ball set, again for the Mi5. The parts significantly reduce the weight of the car and are super tough allowing to use them over a long time without having to fear wear and tear.
