We're excited to offer the new Schumacher Mi8 1/10th Touring Car in Canada!
The Mi8 has been developed by Schumacher’s world class engineering team to be faster, and better handling than ever. Featuring a lower centre of gravity, lighter weight, and fine attention to detail, the Mi8 is a pleasure to build, maintain and to drive
The Mi8 contains all the features and adjustments you need from a high end touring car to take you to the top of the podium. It is available in your choice of aluminum chassis optimized for carpet racing or a carbon fibre chassis perfectly suited to asphalt

Features:
- New motor position with central layshaft position, offering improved weight distribution, drivetrain efficiency and flexibility. Provides an easier and more consistent handling car with improved steering
- New twin upper suspension link design with improved flexibility characteristics and tuning of castor. Mi7 Single upper wishbone option included for simplified build
- New front body height limit control with a lightweight and simple layout
- New carbon fibre wishbones with pivot ball mounting inside and out. Improved flexibility, geometry, droop stability and chassis overhang at the rear. Ease and speed of build greatly improved
- New top deck design. Highly developed flexibility with multiple integration options to the motor mount providing fast but smooth handling out of the box
- New motor mount. Provides increased fore/aft stiffness of the chassis, while maintaining the desired torsional stiffness for stable handling
- New shortened shock absorber design and new mounting layout allowing for super low centre of gravity
- New ultra lightweight and low centre of gravity one piece servo mount. Increases steering trim reliability
- New horizontal rear body mounting option included
- New easier access front spool and rear differential
- New transmission housing design with many improvements such as lowering centre of gravity, durability, ease of assembly and narrower mounting pitch for improvements to geometry and flexibility
- New anti Roll Bar design to further lower centre of gravity
- New ultra fine adjustment eccentrics for optimum belt tension
- New lower bumper mount moulding prevents touching down on track
- New black alloy turnbuckles for weight reduction and improved lower centre of gravity
