Introducing the New Schumacher FT8 1/10th Competition FWD Touring Car.

The Schumacher FT8 – Design and engineering excellence.

The FT8 has been developed by Schumacher’s world class engineering team to make a fast and great handling front wheel drive touring car.

With a low centre of gravity, light weight, and fine attention to detail, the FT8 is a pleasure to build, maintain, and to drive.

The FT8 contains all the features and adjustments you need from a high end front wheel drive to take you to the top of the podium. The FT8, drive from the front.

The FT8 in prototype form has achieved some excellent results including;
BRCA FWD National Win, 2nd's and 3rd's, Andy Murray, Aaron Rose and Jamie Hickin. EWS overall Championship win, Shane Chipolina. MiCC Championship 2nd & 3rd, Aaron Rose & Jamie Hickin.

New - C/F Chassis designed with adjustability of flex characteristics in mind.
New - Vertical servo mounting allows a heavily forward weight bias.
New - Motor positioned directly behind servo for optimal weight distribution.
New - Single bell crank steering for a smooth feeling. Compact design allows the battery to be positioned favourably.
New - 3D printed bumper with weight options available.

- Precision hard anodised alloy gear diff, with large oil volume for consistency throughout a run. Ball raced differential outputs with high precision gears.
- Twin upper suspension link design for flexibility characteristics and tuning of castor.
- Front body height limit control included in the kit with a lightweight and simple solution.
- Carbon fibre wishbones with pivot ball mounting inboard and outboard.
- Super low profile shock absorbers and a mounting layout designed for super low centre of gravity.
- Both Vertical and Horizontal rear body mounting options included in the kit.
- Transmission housings designed to lower centre of gravity, maximise durability and optimise geometry and flexibility.
- Anti roll bar design lowers centre of gravity.
- Ultra fine adjustment eccentrics for optimum belt tension and diff height adjustment.
- Lower bumper moulding prevents the bumper touching down on track.

- Ultra low centre of gravity.
- Double wishbone suspension for increased suspension rigidity, and reduced play.
- Durable and more efficient drive train with larger pulleys 22:40.
- Fully adjustable, suspension geometry, wheelbase, castor, camber, roll centre, ackermann, droop, anti-dive, anti-squat, front and rear toe in/out, ride height and much more.
