About the NEON MTC (Carbon Fiber) Kit
Chassis
The Schumacher NEON MTC 1/10 4WD Electric On-Road Racing TC Kit (Carbon Fiber Edition) features a precisely engineered, lightweight carbon fiber chassis that strikes a perfect balance between strength and agility. This advanced design incorporates a floating servo mount to maintain a low center of gravity while ensuring unrestricted chassis flex, which translates into superb handling on the track. The adjustable battery mount offers versatility in weight distribution, allowing drivers to customize the front-rear and left-right balance based on track conditions, giving the NEON a responsive feel across various surfaces. Schumacher has also integrated vertical and rear-facing body post options, catering to driver preferences and body shell setups for maximum aerodynamics and visual appeal. With a refined layshaft assembly and a lightweight motor mount equipped with an optional top deck stiffener screw, the NEON chassis is designed for strength without unnecessary weight, delivering agility, speed, and optimized structural integrity.
Suspension
The NEON’s suspension system is a masterclass in precise, race-ready engineering, fine-tuned by Schumacher’s world-renowned team of drivers and engineers for top-tier performance. The updated double-wishbone suspension design, with lightweight, stiff upper and lower wishbones, ensures exceptional stability and cornering performance, even under high-speed, high-stress conditions. Fixed-length upper wishbones set pre-defined camber and caster angles, minimizing the need for maintenance while providing consistent handling straight from the box. The NEON is equipped with short alloy shocks, which feature machined pistons, low-friction shafts, and lightweight molded upper sockets, giving the car impressive bump absorption and stability across various track surfaces. A sophisticated steering arm setup optimizes Ackermann geometry, enhancing steering precision, while optional anti-roll bars add an extra layer of customization for racers looking to fine-tune their handling. Rear track rods also enable infinite rear toe-in adjustments, allowing passive rear steering and toe-in changes to further refine control and stability.
Drivetrain
Built for durability and efficiency, the NEON’s drivetrain is meticulously crafted to deliver smooth power transfer and consistent performance. A lightweight front spool assembly and replaceable lightweight outputs, combined with a proven gear differential with steel outputs, ensure reliability under intense racing conditions. The drivetrain includes high-quality Bando 105T belts, chosen for their flexibility, efficiency, and lasting durability, which enhances the NEON’s power efficiency while reducing drag. Schumacher’s ultra-hard-wearing steel rear driveshafts and double-joint front driveshafts, based on Schumacher’s robust joint design, further increase the drivetrain’s durability, ensuring precise power transfer and minimized vibration. The molded transmission housing is lightweight and robust, providing a solid foundation for the transmission, while adjustable differential/spool eccentrics allow for easy belt tension adjustments and height changes. Together, these elements form a drivetrain that’s as responsive as it is reliable and ready to take on the demands of competitive racing with confidence.
