Schumacher Racing has just released their new Mi5evo. The Mi5evo is an entirely new Competition Touring Car developed from the BRCA National Championship winning and popular Mi5 platform. Superbly engineered and equipped with some revolutionary design features, the Mi5evo enables the racer even more tunability for both carpet and asphalt tracks.
Schumacher says, "The Mi5evo has an ultra low center of gravity which gives the car fantastic corner speed. This combined with a wider span vertical top deck offers both a responsive and nimble feel, yet is forgiving and consistent to drive. Ideal for all levels of driver.
Lighter than the Mi5, yet even more robust and durable, the Mi5evo chassis offers an extremely wide window of set up. With a host significant changes such as, optimised motor position 4.5mm closer to centreline, shorter shocks but with the same stroke, new steering system with tuneable ackerman options, new mouldings and pins for lower un-sprung weight and revised body posts and clamps, to name but a few!"
Features:- NEW Motor Mount moves motor in 4.50mm for more centralised weight distribution and better balance.
- NEW light weight single piece, centrally mounted, alloy & carbon fibre CNC servo and steering mount, for maximum stiffness in the steering system, and minimal impact on chassis flex.
- NEW Ultra lightweight alloy transmission housing with ball stud mounting for low centre of gravity, ease of adjustment and narrow pitch mounting for less overhang.
- NEW Light weight wishbone ends with moulded roll bar ball, 35% lighter.
- NEW Shorter Shocks with no loss of stroke for ultra-low centre of gravity.
- NEW Simple 3 point mounted ball raced steering rack for super smooth linear steering. Features forward facing balls for easy Ackerman adjustment and adjustable travel stops.
