Schumacher FT8 Competition FWD Touring Car

Hitting the shelves early June is the new Schumacher FT8 competition FWD touring car for 1/10-scale.

Schumacher FT8 1/10-scale Competition FWD Touring Car

OVERVIEW

Schumacher FT8 1/10-scale Competition FWD Touring CarThe FT8 has been developed by Schumacher’s world class engineering team to make a fast and great handling front wheel drive (FWD) touring car. With a low center of gravity, lightweight and fine attention to detail, the FT8 is a pleasure to build, maintain and to drive. The FT8 contains all the features and adjustments you need from a high end front wheel drive to take you to the top of the podium. The FT8 in prototype form has achieved some excellent results including: BRCA FWD National Win, 2nd’s and 3rd’s, Andy Murray, Aaron Rose and Jamie Hickin. EWS overall Championship win, Shane Chipolina. MiCC Championship 2nd & 3rd, Aaron Rose & Jamie Hickin.
