Schumacher Racing has released a new competition FWD car kit with the name FT8. The car is expected to hit the stores by the end of June. Learn all about the FT8 in Schumachers official press release:

The Schumacher FT8 – Design and engineering excellence.

The FT8 has been developed by Schumacher’s world class engineering team to make a fast and great handling front wheel drive touring car.
With a low centre of gravity, light weight, and fine attention to detail, the FT8 is a pleasure to build, maintain, and to drive.
The FT8 contains all the features and adjustments you need from a high end front wheel drive to take you to the top of the podium. The FT8, drive from the front.
The FT8 in prototype form has achieved some excellent results including;
BRCA FWD National Win, 2nd’s and 3rd’s, Andy Murray, Aaron Rose and Jamie Hickin.  EWS overall Championship win, Shane Chipolina.  MiCC Championship 2nd & 3rd, Aaron Rose & Jamie Hickin.

• New – C/F Chassis designed with adjustability of flex characteristics in mind.  
• New – Vertical servo mounting allows a heavily forward weight bias.
• New – Motor positioned directly behind servo for optimal weight distribution.
• New – Single bell crank steering for a smooth feeling. Compact design allows the battery to be positioned favourably.
• New – 3D printed bumper with weight options available

– Precision hard anodised alloy gear diff, with large oil volume for consistency throughout a run. Ball raced differential outputs with high precision gears.
– Twin upper suspension link design for flexibility characteristics and tuning of castor.
– Front body height limit control included in the kit with a lightweight and simple solution.
– Carbon fibre wishbones with pivot ball mounting inboard and outboard.
– Super low profile shock absorbers and a mounting layout designed for super low centre of gravity.
– Both Vertical and Horizontal rear body mounting options included in the kit.
– Transmission housings designed to lower centre of gravity, maximise durability and optimise geometry and flexibility.
– Anti roll bar design lowers centre of gravity.
– Ultra fine adjustment eccentrics for optimum belt tension and diff height adjustment.
– Lower bumper moulding prevents the bumper touching down on track.
– Black alloy turnbuckles used throughout. 
– 22 precision ball raced bearings.
– “O” ring retained alloy wheel hexes.
– Hollow, precision steel layshaft.
– Ultra durable ‘Long Life’ blades.
– Improved belt efficiency which can be run much looser without slipping.
– Arrowmax supplied 92T 64dp industry standard fitting spur gear.
– Symmetrical chassis cutout offers consistent chassis flex.
– LiPo adjustment for fine tuning weight distribution.
– Rear track rod for infinite adjustment to rear toe-in. This can be tuned for the use of Active Rear Suspension.
– Aerospace carbon fibre components throughout.
– Ultra low centre of gravity.
– Double wishbone suspension for increased suspension rigidity, and reduced play.
– Durable and more efficient drive train with larger pulleys 22:40. 
– Fully adjustable, suspension geometry, wheelbase, castor, camber, roll centre, ackermann, droop, anti-dive, anti-squat, front and rear toe in/out, ride height and much more.
– Option Parts available to fine tune to all track conditions.
– LiPo retention mouldings. No tape required.
– Rebuildable, super durable steel double joint driveshafts.
– Low profile threaded insert. Eliminates the need for nuts.

Destiny just presented a new 38T lightweight rear gear differential set (Ver 2) for their RX-10SR 3.0 touring car. The new version gear diff was updated the differential case and cover 38T pulley to be two pieces assembly, improved the weight of gear differential and acceleration. This gear set included new hardened steel washer set (Lx2, Sx4) to make internal bevel gears smooth rotation and more durable. Seal gasket and o-ring provide best sealing without differential oil leakage. Hard coated 7075 aluminum differential cup to compatible with c-blade shaft adapters.

Part No. D10401

With the integrated CNC mount, this S15-Y can get mounted directly to the Yokomo BD12. It prefectly matches the original servo mount screw hole. The reverse receiver wire output offers neater wiring for the BD12, contribute to lower gravity center. Having the same superior performane just like S15, the S15-Y could be programmed with Power HD progrm box PG-CB63, to set your favorite parameter according to the different tracks, to get better lap time and steering. S15-Y is compatible with Yokomo BD12 and BD11.  This specific servo is coming soon, stay tuned.

Schumacher Racing Cars introduces their new High Grip Track conversion kit for the Mi8.

The standard Mi8 has proved to be a safe and easy to drive car that generates plenty of grip, and is particularly competitive in lower grip conditions.
The Mi8 high grip track (HGT) conversion features an alternative suspension geometry to free the car up in the corners and create more rotation. It also includes new shock mounts to lower the centre of gravity.
This geometry was used by Michal Orlowski to reach the IFMAR worlds A final last year, and to recently win the ETS race in Daun.
The conversion kit includes a new chassis, top decks, wishbones, shock towers, and required hardware.
