Product Detail

With back to back IFMAR World Championship wins the Schumacher ECLIPSE cars are leading the field at international 1/12th scale races.

The ECLIPSE 6 incorporates the latest race winning developments, to give you an advantage on the track. The ECLIPSE 6 is the ultimate professional LMP12 racing chassis kit. The choice of champions!

Features

• New - Ultra-smooth front suspension allowing for better steering response, bump handling and adjustability, thanks to a new hub carrier and kingpin assembly.
• New - Hub carrier design with PTFE filled bushes for improved suspension action.
• New - Damper sleeve with special surface coating to maximise suspension improvements.
• New - Enclosed spring design prevents suspension change/maintenance from dirt and oil build up around the spring. Also providing increased up travel and smoother suspension action.
• New - Front spring set with wider range, more up travel and increased droop control.
• New - Front bumper mount with weight reductions and durability improvements. Three hole mounting designed to protect chassis in large impacts.
• New - Improved front geometry options with a new optional wider track width front beam and camber straps options.
• New - Rear hex wheel clamps with new two piece design improves concentricity, eliminating rear wheel run-out issues and improved rear traction.
• New - Spool axle with weight reductions and new narrower traction width adjustment options.
• New - Side spring seat with lightweight, one piece design, allowing for reduced side spring preload settings and easier assembly.
• New - Updated side damper inner rods to prevent excessive oil capacity and leaking.
• New - Updated rear pod assembly with a lighter design, easier droop measuring and 0.75mm adjusted pod offset. Matches modern motor designs and alleviates imbalanced handling.

Not forgetting all the great features that have made the Eclipse IFMAR World and EFRA European Champion.

• Servo mounting has been improved, resulting in direct mounting for the Sanwa micro range of servos such as the PGS-HR and SRG-HR. Direct and easy alignment on to the centre of the car. In doing this the chassis flexibility characteristics have been vastly improved, for performance and strength, by removing the large, off centre transverse slots previously used. All other brands of servo still can be used with the ultra-lightweight floating servo mount, included.
• Lightweight and flexible 3D printed rubber bumper, offering perfect body shell protection.
• Black aluminium steering turnbuckles now included. Stealth and lighter weight.
• Super easy, slide in, speed secret ride height spacers. 0.5mm U7920 and 0.75mm U7921.
• Tweak free and easy LiPo mounting using new lighter weight O-ring fixing.
• Interchangeable front LiPo position stops with 4 equally spaced settings included.
• Underside Variable Chassis chamfers, offering improved ground clearance, smoother scrubbing and better clearance to curbs and corner markers.
• Big Bore side and centre dampers offering long lasting damping. They also give great damping oil retention (less frequent maintenance required) and a compact and central design. Damper geometry changes have improved damping characteristics.
• Lightweight pod assembly for smoother, more predictable drivability and bump handling. Strengthened for tweak prevention.
• Lightweight Low Centre of Gravity CNC Alloy Motor Mounts.
• Rear ride height adjusters, easier adjustment and 0.25mm height increments.

• Chassis balance pivot holes. For use with U3582 Precision Balance Pivot Set. (Available Separately). Optimises left/right weight distribution.
• Rear tweak adjustment via side springs.
• Simple rear droop adjustment.
• Small Kimbrough servo saver with stiffener included as standard.
• High tensile steel hex screws used throughout.
