Schumacher Mi4 Wishbones & Caster blocks

New from Schumacher for the Mi4 are these shorter and stiffer new wishbones. The new design enables the car to have more corner speed and traction under almost all track conditions. The overall car width is maintained through the use of washers at the pivot block. Available in both Carbon Fibre material for the high end racer and Medium Flex material for improved impact absorption. Also available are these Xtra Flex 4 degree front caster blocks that will give more steering compared to the Medium Flex ones released previously.

Titanium Racing Mi4 layshaft

Titanium Racing have released this new upgrade product for the Schumacher Mi4. This new layshaft has been shortened to reduce the possibility of rear end tweak and it eliminates the link between the left and right hand side of the bulkheads. This allows the two top carbon torsion plates to operate as they should, providing a great degree of controlled independent flex. Made from aluminium, this shortened lay shaft claims to provide for a more uniform and deeper flex, aiding rear end traction. Most notably transmission noise has also been reduced thus increasing transmission efficiency.
