Pro-Line Cat SX3 & Cougar SV2 shells

Pro-Line have introduced the BullDog body for the Schumacher Cat SX3 4wd and Cougar SV2 Pro 2wd buggies. Pro-Line took great care in refining the design for 2012 to create even more stability with enhanced steering to gain an advantage on the track. The windshield is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels and the roof ridges have been raised to channel the air flow over the middle of the body for increased high-speed stability. The rear of the roof has been lowered and fins have been added to achieve stable air flow over the body. The fins also add rigidity to the body to increase aerodynamic efficiency.

Schumacher SupaStox 6 Cell/2S saddle version

Last week Schumacher announced their new SupaStox car and today they have released the pictures of the 6 Cell/2S saddle version. This version is designed for 6 NiMh cells or 2s saddle lipo’s and is mainly used for Oval racing. It includes the different battery mounting system, a 3mm chassis and different spring and tyre choice, compared to the 4 Cell/1s primarily circuit car. Schumacher SupaStox brings top class engineering to the 1/12th GT12 circuit and 1/12th oval classes of racing. It is a high performance racer that uses quality components, but still retains the philosophy of simplicity and low cost. SupaStox is tough enough to cope with the full contact element of Bangers, Hotrods and Saloon Stox, and is also adjustable enough to be perfectly tuned for any circuit or oval track.
