Default Schumacher thread

any chance on getting a schumacher thread started ? just because they don't have a new offroad car yet doesn't mean they shouldn't have a section.

YEAH GO SCHUMACHER!!!!
Loving my Mi2ec, but they have a 1/8th off road car...
Still does anyone own a fusion 28, as i am wondering as to how the hell did they get a .28 size engine in a 1/10 touring car, how does it handle and what is the top speed?

I'm sure theres a good likelihood of making a dedicated Schumacher section when there's something a little more concrete to talk about - but I can see it going the way of the serpent section without a car around, and just taking up space.
The new car should be rather exciting but I've yet to see or hear about it being raced? Perhaps we simply won't see it at all until the toyfair next month.

Aye, different horses and all that though. I loved my BJ4we but I find the 501X to be easier to drive consistently and smoother -lot more work with cleaning it tho.

The car makes it debut public appearance at Nurnburg in a couple of weeks and will be in the shops within a few months after as people have said.

I can't wait, and yeah.... we need Schumacher section. Everyone knows Schumacher is the best really

if shaft drive is the bomb why have all the Tc guys gone back to belt
and don't say because its Tc not offroad
belts are the feature and always will be
and the new Schumacher looks the bomb
and goos well to i have heard/seen he he

The new Shuey sounds like its going to be a nice car, as said 4 & 2 cell lay out and its ment to be a complete new car rather than using bits from old ones and a slim chassis. Its said to be very well balanced.

In regards of belt vs shaft, Jimmy said he feels belt is smoother and Dbizzle prefers shaft because of the low maintanance.

Does anybody else have thoughts on pro's and con's for belt and shaft? Or is there that much power in the motors and batteries now days does it really matter?

Any more theorys?

The cougar 2 was my first car, the "team" version was the mutts nuts.


TC`s went back to belts because of torque steer, this is not some thing we suffer from in off road due to the size and weight of the wheels. Also a shaft car was crap in low grip situations especially from a standing start, as the motor effectively tries to flip the car it lifts one side slightly and loses grip. In the dry though you have a different story though, belts get shafted. We dont seem to suffer from this though in off road.

Shaft is the future, less maintenance, more punch and no pingage
