Schumacher would like to announce that Schumacher USA offices will close at the end of February 2010, after 20 years in Tampa, Florida.
However this is by no means the end of Schumacher’s presence in USA.
Schumacher’s biggest dealers in North America have committed to supporting the change and will be buying products directly from the UK head office. This means that the full product range of cars, parts and accessories will continue to be available at major hobby stores.
Schumacher are offering reasonable prices and a UPS express 2 day delivery service from UK to USA.
The Core brand of RC accessories will also be supplied in the same way.
Schumacher have some exciting new releases planned, such as the new CougarSV 2wd buggy and look like becoming a stronger force at USA tracks.
We would like to thank the SchumacherUSA staff of Shawn Palmer, Adam Bailey, and Diane Kozolowski for all the hard work they have put in over the last few years and wish them well for the future.
For North American dealer enquiries contact usa@racing-cars.com or telephone 011 44 1604 790580.
Direct ordering will also be possible for customers without a dealer in their area through the UK side of our website. 2 Shipping methods will be available, UPS Express and Airsure, which is a trackable post service. The UPS service will take 2 days and the cheaper Airsure 3-5 days.
Robin Schumacher – Managing Director

The Schumacher Cougar SV made its much anticipated race debut this weekend at the BRCA British Open , which has replaced the Indoor Nationals formally run during the winter season. Against a strong entry of most of the UK’s top electric off road drivers the race could not have gone better for the Schumacher team.
The result was a convincing victory in the 2WD class, Simon Moss won all 5 of his races in the Reedy style event to score a maximum perfect score. Simon also recorded the fastest 5 minute run by a huge margin of 5 seconds and fastest single lap.
The Cougar SV was clearly the quickest car on all parts of the multi surface Worksop track which contained a challenging mix of high grip carpet and slippery floor sections. With it’s mid motor, centrally weighted lipo layout and reverse direction transmission it’s looked awesomely stable on the Worksop jumps, which were challenging for some of the best UK drivers.
Overall 3 Cougar SV’s were running at the event with Tom Cockerill also getting up there in 10th with Grant Williams 13th only having received the cars on the day of the race!!
The following day Simon completed the double by taking his CAT SX to victory in the 4WD class.
