The Schumacher CAT SX has recently been seen with rear-mounted dampers at the back of some of the team drivers cars - as we reported at the previous two National series rounds. Now Schumacher have released their own option parts to enable easy conversion to this layout.

The new CAT SX optional shock layout modification has been developed by the Schumacher design engineers in conjunction with our Race Team. It has benefits for varying types of tracks, however is especially good on very bumpy ones and those with low traction.
The tuning bag comes with all the parts required to reverse the shock position to mount on the rear of the wishbone and reduce the wheelbase by 6mm.
This enables greater rear weight bias, a more angled rear driveshaft and a more rearward wing position.
All these things give the car more rear traction, however at the expense of high speed steering on most surfaces. The new 4mm thick C/F camber link bracket included in the pack also allows for multiple link length’s due to its alternate hole positions.
