Description
Schumacher Icon – An innovative new approach to RC Formula.
After a long run of successes in multiple electric racing classes, including a double LMP12 World championship, Schumacher’s engineering team have applied their expertise to the formula class. The result is the Icon, an innovative new approach to RC Formula racing. The Icon is designed for maximum rear traction to make an easy to drive car, but maintains plenty of steering to satisfy the most demanding drivers. The Icon prototypes have been extensively tested and raced in the UK, Germany, and Italy, and have proved to be fast and agile. The Icon features all the adjustments you need to be dialled on both carpet and asphalt tracks.
- Full length carbon fibre chassis for increased cornering predictability and improved rear traction suspension system.
- Carefully increased longitudinal stiffness using a combination of topdeck and side brace design.
- Unique wing mounting position for optimum wing performance.
- Fully adjustable front end (Wheelbase, track width, ride height, toe, camber, caster, damping, bump steer and ackermann).
- Unique rear differential design, using our 1/12 design and special hex clamps to achieve simplified diff tension setting. Differential can also be used in Eclipse range of cars!
- Super quick and fully adjustable castor using digital caliper or steel rule, and castor chart in the manual.
- Damper tube style rear damping for bump riding and cornering performance. Unique, big bore design capable of managing large bumps and much longer lasting damping, using larger capacity of oil.
- Hollow and lightweight steel rear diff axle included. U4854 Carbon diff axle can be used for further weight reduction.
- Lipo mounting using o-ring fixing with easy loop over design. Catering for wide range of ‘Shortie’ type LiPo shapes and sizes.
