About the Eclipse 6
Chassis & Rear Pod
The Schumacher Eclipse 6 sets a higher benchmark in 1/12 electric pan car design with its extensively updated chassis geometry, lightweight rear pod assembly, and an improved front bumper mount. The redesigned chassis incorporates precise camber strap options and an updated optional wider track width front beam, offering racers unprecedented control over front geometry adjustments. The inclusion of a spool axle with weight reductions and narrower traction width adjustment options ensures optimal weight distribution and adaptability to various track conditions. Meanwhile, the rear pod assembly has been meticulously engineered for modern motor designs, featuring a 0.75mm adjusted pod offset that enhances balance and alleviates imbalanced handling issues. This lighter rear pod also simplifies droop measurements, reducing setup time while maintaining performance precision. Adding to the durability and practicality, the three-hole front bumper mount combines weight reductions with enhanced strength, protecting the chassis during large impacts. These features, combined, deliver superior handling, improved weight distribution, and a significant edge on the racetrack.
Suspension & Handling
The Eclipse 6 features a cutting-edge suspension system designed to deliver supreme handling and responsiveness on any track. At the forefront is an ultra-smooth front suspension with a revolutionary hub carrier and kingpin assembly that dramatically enhances steering response, bump handling, and adjustability. PTFE-filled bushings in the hub carriers improve suspension action, while the specially coated damper sleeve maximizes suspension performance, resulting in silky-smooth operation. The updated enclosed spring design protects against dirt and oil buildup, increasing reliability and reducing maintenance frequency while providing increased up travel and smoother action. Additionally, the front spring set offers a wider range of adjustability with improved droop control, ensuring consistent performance across different track surfaces. Complementing this is the redesigned side damper system with lightweight inner rods to prevent oil leaks, and an updated one-piece side spring seat that allows for precise spring preload settings. These innovations deliver unparalleled stability and control, making the Eclipse 6 a standout performer in the 1/12 scale racing world.
Tunability
The Schumacher Eclipse 6 is an engineering marvel, providing racers with an extensive array of tuning options to achieve optimal performance. The servo mounting system has been significantly enhanced, allowing for direct and precise alignment of Sanwa micro servos, vastly improving chassis flexibility and strength. This, combined with the innovative lightweight floating servo mount, ensures compatibility with a wide range of servo brands. The chassis also incorporates features like ultra-lightweight O-ring LiPo mounting, interchangeable front LiPo position stops, and a highly tweak-resistant pod assembly, all designed for quick adjustments and peak efficiency. The big bore center and side dampers provide exceptional damping retention, reducing maintenance needs while ensuring consistent handling. Furthermore, racers benefit from advanced ride height adjusters, color-coded rear and side springs, and independent roll and bump stiffness adjustments, enabling precise customization. The Eclipse 6’s chassis chamfers enhance ground clearance and cornering, while its compatibility with industry-standard components makes it a versatile and future-proof choice. This meticulous attention to tunability ensures that the Eclipse 6 delivers race-winning performance for seasoned professionals and ambitious enthusiasts alike.
