{"product_id":"u9573-steel-chassis-kit-ld3","title":"U9573  Schumacher Steel Chassis Kit - LD3","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Schumacher Steel Chassis Kit - LD3, part number SCH-U9573, is a steel chassis conversion suggested for the Cougar LD3 racing buggy. It is designed to create a lower centre of gravity while adding controlled chassis flex, helping the car remain composed across a range of track surfaces. The conversion is particularly suited to medium-grip, bumpy Astro through to high-bite Astro and carpet conditions, based on Schumacher team testing. This makes it a useful chassis tuning option for drivers looking to adjust the handling characteristics of their LD3 for changing grip levels and track conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChassis Tuning Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main chassis is made from 1.2mm steel and works with carbon fibre side pod stiffeners and front alloy 3D-printed stiffeners. Together, these components increase steering response while retaining the ability to fine-tune the feel of the car. The front stiffeners can be removed when a different handling balance is required, providing an additional adjustment option without changing the core chassis conversion. The result is a flexible setup choice for Astro and carpet racing where surface grip and bump levels can vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.2mm steel chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon fibre side pod stiffeners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront alloy 3D-printed stiffeners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable stiffeners for additional tuning adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuggested compatibility is with the Schumacher Cougar LD3.
