K218 Schumacher Eclipse 6 1/12th Pan Car

With back-to-back IFMAR World Championship pedigree, the Schumacher Eclipse 6 (SCH-K218) is a professional 1/12th scale LMP12 racing chassis kit packed with the latest race-proven developments for precision, consistency and speed. Due early January 2025 – pre-orders are being taken.

Key Features

• New ultra-smooth front suspension with updated hub carrier and kingpin assembly for sharper steering response and improved bump handling.
• Hub carrier design with PTFE-filled bushes for freer, more consistent suspension action.
• Special surface-coated damper sleeve to maximise the front-end suspension improvements.
• Enclosed front spring design to resist dirt and oil build-up, increase up-travel and deliver smoother action.
• Reworked front spring set offering a wider range, more up-travel and increased droop control.
• Lightweight, stronger front bumper mount with three-hole pattern to help protect the chassis in hard impacts.
• Expanded front-end geometry options, including an optional wider track-width beam and camber strap choices.
• Two-piece rear hex wheel clamps improve concentricity, eliminating wheel run-out and enhancing rear traction.
• Lightened spool axle with narrower traction width adjustment options.
• Lightweight one-piece side spring seat enabling reduced preload settings and easier assembly.
• Updated side damper inner rods to prevent excessive oil capacity and reduce leaks.
• Revised rear pod assembly: lighter design, easier droop measuring and 0.75 mm adjusted pod offset to better suit modern motors and balance.
• Suggested compatibility includes direct mounting for Sanwa micro servos such as PGS-HR and SRG-HR; other brands via the included ultra-lightweight floating servo mount.
• Lightweight and flexible 3D-printed rubber bumper for effective bodyshell protection.
• Black aluminium steering turnbuckles, plus slide-in ride height spacers (0.5 mm U7920, 0.75 mm U7921) for quick, repeatable setup changes.
• Tweak-free LiPo mounting with lighter O-ring fixing and four-position interchangeable front LiPo stops.
• Underside variable chassis chamfers for improved ground clearance and smoother corner marker contact.
• Big bore side and centre dampers with improved geometry for long-lasting, consistent damping and reduced maintenance.
• Strengthened, lightweight pod assembly and low centre-of-gravity CNC alloy motor mounts.
• Rear ride height adjusters with easy 0.25 mm increments; simple rear droop and tweak adjustments via side springs.
• Front beam socket with O-ring fixing, thread insert design for faster wrenching, and easy bodyshell height adjustment.
• Extra-low rear roll-centre pivot, balanced rear pod and ultra-low motor position for traction and stability.
• Colour-coded rear and side springs with separate roll and bump stiffness adjustment.
• Ball-bearing front and rear axles and adjustable toe-in/out.
• Chassis balance pivot holes for use with U3582 Precision Balance Pivot Set (available separately).
• High-tensile steel hex hardware and a clear, easy-to-follow instruction manual.
