Schumacher reveal Eclipse 1/12th scale pan car

Following a first teaser image Schumacher have now officially revealed their all-new Eclipse 1/12th scale pan car kit. Sporting a ground-breaking design with its full-length carbon fibre chassis and a “floating” motor pod the link-type car is a welcomed turning away from the norm. The car makes use of a fully adjustable front end including damping, fully adjustable rear roll centre pivot height including an extra low position and it features a lightweight ball differential with carbon axle and true thrust race. High quality engineering polymer mouldings throughout make for an ultra low weight and easy maintenance while the rear motor pod side plates are made of machined and black anodised aluminium for strength. The chassis allows for tweak-free battery mounting using tape and other features include a raised bumper mount for improved cornering and added front end protection, a damper tube style rear damping makes for optimised bump riding and cornering performance and the kit, that will become available by end of October, is rounded out by a genuine Kimbrough servo saver and 64 pitch main gear.
