Schumacher Cougar LD3 Optional Steel Chassis

Schumacher has announced the upcoming release of an optional Steel Chassis for their 2WD Buggy World Championship winning Cougar LD3.  This steel chassis conversion provides a lower centre-of-gravity build with increased chassis flex, making it particularly well suited to medium-grip, bumpy Astro through to high-bite Astro and carpet conditions.  The conversion features a 1.2mm steel chassis, carbon fibre side pod stiffeners and front alloy 3D-printed stiffeners.  These stiffeners increase steering response and can be removed to provide an additional tuning option, allowing the handling characteristics of the chassis to be adjusted to suit track conditions.  Schumacher say that in testing, the team has found the Steel chassis to excel in bumpy Astro conditions with medium to high grip, as well as on carpet tracks.

Agama N2e 1:8 Electric Buggy

Agama has released its latest 1:8 Electric Buggy contender, the N2e.  On officially unveiling the buggy, Nemo Racing say that after years of development and refinement their lowest COG design concept is enhanced even further with the production of the Agama N2.  The platforms unique suspension creates an incredibly low centre of gravity while their engineering teams years of experience has pushed them to ensure that not only is it fast, but it’s the easiest car to work on in its class.  Lower COG makes the N2 more consistent to drive while being able to hold higher corner speeds than your average 1/8th buggy.  Agama say it is not just in the corners where the N2 excels, through bumps it stays very flat with less tendency to want to flip over and in the air the N2 flies very low and stable as its unique clean aerodynamics have a tremendous effect, working the rear wing to maximum efficiency.  The unique, lay-down shock system on the N2 enables a non-resistant stroke through the full suspension travel of the vehicle.  With little side load going through the shock shaft, you are treated to the benefit of an ultra consistent suspension feel that won’t change during long finals.
