Schumacher Icon F1 & Eclipse 4 V2 damper rod

New for the Schumacher Icon F1 and the Eclipse 4 is this V2 version of the damper rod. The V2 damper rod for the Icon F1 and Eclipse 4 has a much larger internal hole diameter which could simply be seen as a weight reduction over the V1 , however its primary purpose is to allow for easier filling with damping oil. A larger quantity of oil can be used, leading to a much longer lasting, consistent damping and therefore less frequent maintenance is required. The damping rate when freshly filled remains unchanged and damping setup’s will carry over from the v1 rod.

JConcepts S2 Cougar LD2 buggy body shell

JConcepts’ S2 body line up has been expanded to include the Schumacher Cougar LD2 buggy. Slammed overall height allows the S2 to whisk through the turns with a low centre of mass while the progressive cab design provides plenty of front-end force for superior balance and steering. A channeled roof directs the flow through the centre of the body while also increasing the rigidity of cockpit. The dual side-window design that has become famous on the JConcepts bodies remains to bring a traditional feel to the layout. The upper side-pods feature distinct vents used to help relieve hot air build-up inside the body for those high-powered runs or hot days at the track. Carved and detailed side-pods edge the body giving the highly aero unit a stylish look with a tight fit and finish. Included with the clear body shell come two S-Type wings as well as window masks and a decal sheet.
