Klinik RC Cat L1 Max Forward battery cradle system

Available now from Klinik RC is their new Max Forward battery cradle system for the Schumacher L1 and L1 Evo 4WD buggy. Designed and tested with top Schumacher factory driver Michal Orlowski, on-track back-to-back testing with Klinik RC’s standard forward battery cradle netted 0.1 to 0.2 quicker laps at the famous Titan RC raceway in Poland. Testers saw faster corner speed, more rotation mid corner and better jump and landing performance. The set works very well in all conditions and on all surfaces as the designers pushed the battery as far forward as possible, making the set the ticket on high-grip surfaces to squeeze that last tenth out of each lap and every corner. The set works with shorty batteries up to 24.5mm thick, including all LCG packs and it is CNC-milled from 3mm carbon fibre in-house at Klinik RC in the US. Included in the set come two carbon fibre battery cradles, 3x14mm screws, hold down rings as well as decals.
