Schumacher CAT K1 FAB system

New from Schumacher for the CAT K1 is this FAB (Front Adjustable Braking) system. It allows you to adjust the amount of braking to the front wheels via the pressure pads controlled by tightening the external side nut. Fully tight the car operates full time four wheel braking, as per standard kit specification, while fully backed off acts like a one way layshaft. Adjustment allows proportional control of front braking allowing you to tune the cars handling to all circuits and driving styles. On the opposite side is the CAT K1 vented slipper clutch.

Schumacher Cat K1 gear diff & Cougar wide track mod

Schumacher have released a complete gear diff for the Cat K1. The new diff provides lots of run time between maintenance rebuilds and with steel gears is super strong. Suitable for a wide range of conditions but very good in high grip as it can give more drive and rotation. For Cougar SV2 the wide track modification improves stability in corners and over bumps. Recommended for narrow overhang tyres such as Schumacher Minispikes, wide overhang tyres may cause a problem with width rules.
