Schumacher Cougar SV optional chassis & top deck

Schumacher have announced the release of two new products for the Cougar SV 2wd buggy. The new chassis and top deck set has been developed over several months by their high level team drivers in a variety of conditions. The chassis is 8mm longer than the standard kit which significantly changes the weight balance of the car, while the weight distribution is now shifted further towards the rear which makes the car more stable, easier to drive and offers better rear traction on medium to low grip surfaces. In addition to the chassis, the above longer top deck is also required. Once again it has been developed by their team to provide the optimal flex for this chassis design.

Schumacher Big Bore touring car shocks

Schumacher have introduced the first large diameter ‘Big Bore’ shocks on to the market for 1/10th Touring Car’s. Under testing for many months the team have found these larger diameter shocks an extremely good tuning option for the Mi4 and will also fit other Touring Cars. Especially good on bumpy, lower traction tracks but equally at home on higher grip surfaces, the assembled units are sold as a pair, and include popular 16lb springs.

Schumacher Cougar SV gearbox casing & shock mount

Schumacher have announce the release of the following new products for the Cougar SV. Firstly is this CNC machined alloy 2 piece gearbox casing. Designed to be a super precision fit for ultimate alignment of the transmission assembly with an extremely tight seal to prevent dirt ingress. Made from tough 7075-T6 alloy, this unit also looks cool with its engraving and stealth black look. The heavier weight also gives more rear weight bias for improved traction. Secondly for the Cougar SV is this new shock mount. Something that the team drivers have been developing for some time, this new 4mm carbon fibre mount is drilled to sit 4mm lower than the standard version. This enables the front end to have more droop and less up travel, something the drivers have desired under a lot of conditions.

Exclusive – Schumacher Mi4CX

Schumacher have a first production version of their new Mi4CX at the first round of the ETS, driven by Belgian team driver Manuel Henriet, which is an update to their British Championship winning chassis. The main changes are the new front and rear drive axle mounting blocks which have been put on a diet, while attached to those blocks are new composite lower wishbone mounting brackets which replace the current aluminium versions. Due to the reduced materials used in the areas, an updated chassis sporting additional mounting points for the blocks help increase stiffness. Up front the car also has a new spool and beefier front drive shafts.
