Schumacher Cat L1 carbon HD top deck conversion

Posted: 03 Apr 2019 07:42 AM PDT

Coming from Schumacher and made for the Cat L1 1/10th 4WD buggy is a carbon fibre HD top deck flex system conversion. The flex system is lightweight and it has increased structural rigidity front to back but retains its flex in twist. It will improve the cars responsiveness in steering feel, and will help on tracks with large jumps. The multi-piece top deck is machined from carbon fibre and comes with suitable mounting hardware.
