Schumacher have released these new vented shock caps for all their small bore shocks and mainly suited for Off Road, however at recent large Touring Car races ‘Emulsion’ style shocks have become more popular and these caps will fit both TC and Off Road cars. The new cap allows you to build Emulsion shocks easily and consistently. They also allow you to build them with normal diaphragms, both vented and sealed, allowing different levels of rebound to be used.

From Schumacher, this new modification for the Mi4CXL was developed by their team drivers and used by Chris Grainger to gain an A final place at the 2012 IFMAR World Championships. The modification allows a much more elongated flex to the chassis, allowing it to produce more traction yet maintaining the rigid structure of the wishbone mounting system. Typically lap times will be reduced and the car will have an improved driving feel. Includes chassis mounted steering.

Schumacher have launched 3 new pistons for their small bore shocks, something their offroad team have preferred at recent races due to their agility and aggression. The new tapered pistons allow the shock to rebound more quickly than compressing, increasing stability through high speed bumps. The square top edge ensures that the shock still has the correct amount of pack to keep the car stable when landing from jumps. Available with three different hole sizes each in easily identifiable colours, so you always know what your running. New for the Cougar SV2, this S1 Chassis is a more flexible chassis compared to the kit alloy one, it is beneficial on bumpy tracks and low grip/damp conditions. Finally for the SupaStox, is a diff with a CNC machined 48dp 70T gear. The strong solid steel axle combined with an alloy hub/wheel carrier and steel short axle and precision ball bearings allows simple tightness adjustment without the need to disturb the tension when removing the wheel. This version comes with CNC machined 70T 48dp spur.
Schumacher Racing would like to welcome Frenchman Armand Lantheaume to the team. Armand is the current French national champion in both 2WD and 4WD 1/10th off-road classes. He has also achieved B finals in both classes at each of the last 2 EFRA European Championships. Armand will be driving the Cougar SV2 on grass and astro tracks, the Cougar SVR on dirt tracks, and the CAT SX3 in 4WD and is looking forward to an even more competitive 2013 season with his new cars.
