On the Schumacher website the wheelbase is stated absolute, so I'm guessing there is no adjustment available at the hub. I guess toe could be easily done with an option wishbone with the mounting holes moved slightly which would be trivial with CNC (could do the same with wheelbase tbh).

I'm certainly not bashing, it looks very nice and I can't wait to see it out on track at the weekend.
Chatting with a friend who is a schuey team driver, and has been involved on the development, there is wheelbase adjustment on the rear hub. Also, for rear toe he mentioned there will be three rear arms, each with a different level of toe (3/2.5/2 I believe is going to be the range initially).
Overall, very interesting design and exectution, whilst still maintaining tried and tested principles from other chassis.

Oh, and totally agree that black looks better!
