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.

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.

The Nitro Fusion is the fastest most exciting R/C Touring car ever created!!

It is powered by the awesome Schumacher X28 (4.5cc) engine built by Italy’s legendary engine manufacturer, Picco. This 7 port fully race tuned monster produces 2.85hp at 33,000 rpm and, with the help of the unique Schumacher 3 speed transmission, can propel the Fusion to an astonishing 80mph.

The Fusion 28 has the grip and handling to match thanks to the race developed fully adjustable suspension from the 2006 & 2007 British National Championship winning Fusion R12 and ATS competition foam tyres.
