Schumacher Menace GTR

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Schumacher Menace GTR is a radio-controlled car made by Schumacher Racing Products, powered by a nitro fuel engine. It is essentially a Schumacher Menace made into an on-road car. This is accomplished using lower shock towers, shorter dampers, different tires and wheels and other small adjustments. The end result is an on-road car that is just as fast as the Schumacher Fusion in straight line speed but that can corner a lot faster due to its wider chassis and more stable nature.

Schumacher also produce an Electrically powered version the Schumacher GTRe, which is based on the same chassis design.
