Core RC 1/10th off-road big bore springs

Schumacher have introduced the new Core RC big bore springs for 1/10th off-road buggies. The high-quality progressive springs allow the car to float over bumps but not roll too much during cornering and the consistent wire diameter means that the characteristics of each spring is similar, giving a consistent performance across the range. The stiffness increment between springs is very small, allowing fine adjustment of the suspension. Available now are the medium “orange” 4.3lbs and “yellow” 4.6lbs springs and to enable the big bore springs to be used on small bore shocks Schumacher have release two optional converters for the top of the spring, enabling better seating. The bottom of the spring fits regular small bore shock bottoms.
