Schumacher ‘Classic’ Buggy Option Parts

Schumacher has some new option parts for its ‘Classic’ offroad buggies releasing a Longitudinal Carbon Fibre LiPo Strap, Purple Alloy Steering Radius Arms, and High Performance Slipper Pad.  The longitudinal lipo strap can be used with and without the chassis stiffening system and allows the lipo to mount down the centre line of the chassis, especially helpful when running softer suspension setups as the car will settle quicker out of a corner.  The weight bias will also be slightly more rearward for more traction but will transfer weight faster to the rear on larger jumps.   The purple anodised Alloy Steering Radius Arms add some extra Schumacher violet gorgeousness to your Cougar 2 Works ‘Classic’ as well as increasing rigidity and strength for a better steering response.   The optional slipper pad is made from an ultra low friction material which reduces temperatures, improving consistency and confidence with slipper clutch settings.  Aimed as an improvement on all surfaces from soft to tight settings, it keeps consistent performance over multiple runs.  It fits all Schumacher slipper clutches for the Cougar 2 Works ‘Classic’ and CAT 2000 ‘Classic’
