Schumacher Racing soon have new option parts for the Cat K1 buggy as well as Core RC aluminium servo arms available. Made for the Cat K1 4WD buggy are two new optional chassis plates. They are available in carbon fibre or S1 fibre glass material and designed to replace the stock alloy chassis plate. Both are softer in twist for added traction and a more forgiving character of the buggy especially on rough and slippery surfaces. The carbon fibre option also is significantly lighter. Also new are the Core RC short-type alloy steering servo arms. They are ideal for the Cougar SV2 and SVR as well as many other vehicles, they feature a clamp design for secure fitment and are available as 25T/Futaba and 23T/Sanwa variant.

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.
