Schumacher Mi8 Competition 1/10 Alloy Touring RC Car Kit

Introducing the new Schumacher Mi8 1/10th Touring Car kit. 

**Note that this is the alloy version of the kit.**

2021 BRCA National Stock Champion.
The Schumacher Mi8 - design and engineering excellence.

The Mi8 has been developed by Schumacher’s world class engineering team to be faster, and better handling than ever.
With a lower centre of gravity, lighter weight, and fine attention to detail, the Mi8 is a pleasure to build, maintain and to drive.
The Mi8 contains all the features and adjustments you need from a high end touring car to take you to the top of the podium.
Available with an alloy chassis optimised for carpet racing, or a carbon fibre chassis perfectly suited to asphalt.
Features

Motor position with central layshaft position, offering improved weight distribution, drivetrain efficiency and flexibility. Provides an easier and more consistent handling car with improved steering.
Twin upper suspension link design with improved flexibility characteristics and tuning of castor. Mi7 Single upper wishbone option included for simplified build.
Front body height limit control included in the kit with a lightweight and simple layout.
Carbon fibre wishbones with pivot ball mounting inside and out. Improved flexibility, geometry, droop stability and chassis overhang at the rear. Ease and speed of build greatly improved.
Top deck design. Highly developed flexibility with multiple integration options to the motor mount providing fast but smooth handling out of the box.
Motor mount. Provides increased fore/aft stiffness of the chassis, while maintaining the desired torsional stiffness for stable handling.
Vastly shortened shock absorber design and new mounting layout allowing for super low centre of gravity.
Ultra lightweight and low centre of gravity one piece servo mount. Increases steering trim reliability.
Horizontal rear body mounting option included.
Easier access front spool and rear differential.
Transmission housing design with many improvements such as lowering centre of gravity, durability, ease of assembly and narrower mounting pitch for improvements to geometry and flexibility.
Anti Roll Bar design to further lower centre of gravity.
Ultra fine adjustment eccentrics for optimum belt tension.
Lower bumper mount moulding preventing touching down on track.
Black Alloy turnbuckles for weight reduction and improved lower centre of gravity.
Ackerman steering arms for refined steering feel.
Optional Mass damping compatibility within each wishbone (x4).
Rear black anodised driveshaft bones with improved tolerance and durability.
28 precision ball raced bearings.
“O” ring retained alloy wheel hexes.
Hollow, precision steel layshaft.
Precision hard anodised alloy gear diff, with large oil volume for improved consistency. Ball raced diff outputs with high precision gears.
Ultra durable ‘Long Life’ blades.
Improved belt efficiency which can be run much looser without slipping.
Arrowmax supplied, 85T industry standard fitting spur gear.
Symmetrical chassis cutout offers consistent chassis flex.
LiPo adjustment for fine tuning weight distribution with New ability to run central shorty.
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 pullies 22:40. Great for stock racing.
Fully adjustable, suspension geometry, wheelbase, caster, camber, roll centre, ackerman, droop, anti dive, anti squat, front and rear toe in/out, ride heightand much more.
Speed secret parts available to fine tune to all track conditions.
Simple twin bellcrank chassis mounted steering assembly. With moulded bellcranks with adjustable travel stops.
LiPo retention mouldings. No tape required.
Rebuildable, super durable steel double joint driveshafts.
Low profile threaded insert. Eliminates the need for nuts.
