Schumacher SupaStox 6 Cell/2S saddle version

Last week Schumacher announced their new SupaStox car and today they have released the pictures of the 6 Cell/2S saddle version. This version is designed for 6 NiMh cells or 2s saddle lipo’s and is mainly used for Oval racing. It includes the different battery mounting system, a 3mm chassis and different spring and tyre choice, compared to the 4 Cell/1s primarily circuit car. Schumacher SupaStox brings top class engineering to the 1/12th GT12 circuit and 1/12th oval classes of racing. It is a high performance racer that uses quality components, but still retains the philosophy of simplicity and low cost. SupaStox is tough enough to cope with the full contact element of Bangers, Hotrods and Saloon Stox, and is also adjustable enough to be perfectly tuned for any circuit or oval track.

JConcepts was once again on hand trackside to help support the local racers and the series. With two rounds of qualifying under way, JConcepts drivers put the pressure on by TQ’ing their respective classes; Tracey Carver (Blinky Stk), Billy Bruce (Boosted Stk), Paul Wynn (Pro2 Open), and Chris Viesins (Pro 4 Open). The mains got rolling and it was apparent that these 4 drivers where going to take full advantage of their well earned TQ spot.
