Schumacher Mi9 Option Parts

Schumacher has released four new option parts for their Mi9 1:10 Electric Touring Car that includes a brass front weigh, a new stiff carbon fibre chassis, Split Top Decks, and a Lock Stop Steering Arms Set. With fine tuning of chassis balance gets more and more critical in Touring Car Performance, the 20g Brass Front Weight for the Mi9 is a great option which keeps the centre of gravity super low, and positions centrally in between the servo and LiPo. Made from brass and nicely coated in stealth black, itits with either the standard kit servo mount or the popular Aerox LP1s direct fit servo. A new 2mm ‘Stiff Weave’ carbon fibre chassis is ideally suited for medium to higher grip conditions and has similar feeling to that of an alloy chassis yet is lighter. The 2mm thickness gives that all important lower centre of gravity increasing corner speed. Also crucial for Touring Car Performance is chassis flex so Schumacher has also introduced a new Split Top Deck made from 1.6mm carbon fibre which enables a greater set up window to be obtained with the options available. Finally an option for improved reliability in a crash is the new Lock Stop Steering Arms Set. The gives a hard steering arm stop on lock and in unusual crashes this can protect the front roll bar from becoming bent.

Nicholson wins WA Electric Onroad State Titles

Schumacher driver Simon Nicholson has won the Western Australia Electric Onroad State Titles which was hosted by West Coast Model RC over the weekend. The back to back Australian National Champion arrived late to the event after a cancelled flight and missed half a day of practice. In qualifying RC Maker’s Jeff Hamon would take the overall TQ. Topping the opening qualifier Hamon took three of the five rounds with Nicholson taking the other two. In the triple A-Main, Nicholson would take the first one from Jeffrey Mackie as Hamon struggled with tyres and dropped down the order. A better A2 would see Hamon get the win from Nicholson by a big margin setting the stage for an A3 decider. Unfortunately a mistake by Hamon saw him clip Nicholson with Mackie getting the win but overall it was Nicholson who took the title from Hamon with Mackie completing the podium.
