It is a large track. It was super fast and you needed a ton of confidence and 100% commitment to be fast. I had neither so I was slow. My LD3 was perfect though.

We’ll despite having a few P2 runs in qualifying and throwing it away on the lap twice I started 8th in the A.

But I made up for it in the mains and drove up to 3rd in all three A-Mains. Got 3rd overall in 21.5.

Need some insight. Looking at the set up sheet, I cannot figure out how to get 4.5mm. 1.5 hub spacer + 1.5 arm flip gives 3mm. 5mm chassis spacer.

any help would be appreciated.


not enough posts to post a pic. But I’m referring to the front suspension area where the options are 0, +1.5, +3.0, +4.5

That caught me out, I believe that the manual is wrong and flipping the front arms is 3mm not 1.5mm. I also measured the difference in flipping the arms and looks to be 3mm not 1.5mm.

Default Shock Rebuild Kit

New to Schumacher cars (from AE) last year and thought I would refresh the o rings on the shock as the chassis was second hand. So purchased two shocks rebuild kits, thinking they only do a pair of shocks:

Turns out one packet does all four shocks and also (as I understand it) provide machined shock spacers as well. What a bargain, very pleased, this platform gets better and better to own.

Default 5 Gear Conversion From Schumacher

Looks like we have an official 5 gear conversion kit from Schumacher now. Interesting for the carpet drivers out there.
