That would make an awsome Rally!!!

[silly_boi]

with the sealed drive train, this sohuld make a good Rally car

[nitrohead5300]

they still gonna keep that dinky front bumper?? It is not as wide as the body

[poopie]

haha maybe they figured if it was going 70 mph, a bumper wouldn't save it.

[nitrohead5300]

Good point poopie!! :D

Hmm. I always wanted a 1/8th on road...

[thedarkness]

this car looks like it would make a damn fine rally car just throw a citreon body on it(current wrc champion i belive).I have a feeling those wonderfull brits (schumacher), made this for the ever popular rally game class(we need this one in north america).Edit i also see the steering servo is right in front of the engine and has an extremly long linkage

when does it come out?

[NitroBoy24]

Wow, Schumacher makes some scary fast cars. I can't even imagine a .21 plus a 3-Speed..

:eek:

hmmmm? interesting Shumacher caculates it out to 70mph even with the bigger 1/8th size tires ???? If anything shouldn't it be closer to 100 .... lol :D j/k .....

Didn't the original fusion go like 80+, or was advertised to go that speed???

With the stock clutchbell on the fusion 65mph was the norm. And I believe that the menace GT has the same stock clutchbell that comes on the menace truck which is the high acceleration clutchbell , it has fewer teeth than the other clutchbells mention. :D And because it has fewer teeth top end speed will be less, I suspect that the reason it is hitting seventy is because of the taller than stock fusion tires it has on it. Wolfpack Radicals is selling adaptors so you can mount 1/8 serpent foam tires checkout their website.

Question - I can not tell from the pic. Is it 4wd or 2wd?

[-=ADA$=-]

as far as i see there are dogbones in front so i assume its 4wd

[midnight oil]

Looks like 4wd to me

[nitrohead5300]

It is 4 wheel drive it is based on the menace chassis, one that has been stretched out in lenght so it is 1/8 scale. Get the lowdown on it from the Schumacher site :D
