Schumacher Mi7
The all new Mi7 from Schumacher Racing.
A state of the art, brand new ground up design. Designed by racers for racers.
Designed for use on asphalt and carpet tracks, and for both modified or stock class racing.
The Mi7 features double wishbone suspension for increased suspension rigidity, and reduced play.
It retains the ability to adjust suspension geometry, wheelbase, caster, camber, roll
centre, Ackerman, droop, anti-dive, anti-squat, front and rear toe in/out, ride height
and much more. Its ultra-low centre of gravity enables faster corner speeds than ever before.
Engineered to exacting standards with aerospace quality components the new Mi7 offers on track
confidence and off track ease of maintenance.
The Schumacher Mi7, designed to race, engineered to win.
The first batch of cars includes genuine Mid Motor and Rear Motor option in the box. (2 x Chassis, 2 x Top Decks & 4 x Belts)
Pre-Orders being taken - Due end October 2019.

Beautiful but it does make me want a Gizmo even more now.

This car has had a lot of development go into it; they've been working on it for a couple of years in the UK. The on-track performance of the later versions has been impressive to watch, winning the BRCA Mod TC championship in its first year of competition.
It's different from the standard TC design, but in a way that works, rather than just being different for the sake of it like some other cars (including older Schumachers).

Interesting take on the mid-motor. Unequal length belts but the motor is more "mid" and moved up forward more than the other mid conversions.

Whats interesting is the unequal top deck design similar to the awesomatix.... also, the pivot ball top and bottom of the front hub also seen on the awesomatix.
Any idea the thought behind the small bearings in the middle of the + piece in the diff?
I like that they moved back to the carbon A arm.
