Schumacher Cougar LD3 Worlds Option Parts

Schumacher has released two new optional parts for its Cougar LD3 which last October team driver Broc Champlin used to take the buggy to the IFMAR 1:10 2WD World Championship title in Australia.  First of the new options is the Worlds Alloy Lower Plate that offers the ability to lower the centre of gravity of the front end by moving the servo down into a flat (horizontal) position, as well as further back.  This results in more stability through the corners and calms down the steering aggression.  Also offering increased stiffness, it can only be used with the flat (horizontal) servo position, and the new Worlds centre track rod.  The Worlds centre track rod features optional steering geometry to adjust the aggression of the steering through the corner.  This new inner hole position will help more with mid to exit steering.

G-Force Racing GP-1 LRS Front

Thai 1:28 manufacturer G-Force Racing has introduced this LRS Front (Long Arm Suspension) for its GP-1 kit which it released last November.  It is designed to elevate the chassis performance with improved stability, smoother steering response, and enhanced front-end grip, especially under high-speed cornering and technical sections.  By extending the arm length, LRS optimises suspension geometry, reducing twitchiness while increasing control and consistency.  The result is a more predictable driving feel that allows drivers to push harder with confidence.  Built for compatibility with modern 1:28 platforms, the LRS system integrates seamlessly with high-performance components while maintaining a lightweight and durable structure.
