At the end of September, Schumacher is going to begin the distribution of the new ATOM 2 1/12th Scale Pan Car. The all-new steel alloy chassis has a low centre of gravity, excellent for maximum cornering speeds. The all new Slide Pivot System is a low friction, bind free design that maximizes rear traction.
The ATOM 2 will be available in a carbon fibre and S2 fibre glass variant, both with the steel alloy chassis. Below, all the features and more images of the chassis.
2 Versions available
Steel Chassis Carbon Fibre Version
All chassis components other than the actual chassis are lightweight carbon fibre.
Steel Chassis S2 Version
All chassis components other than the actual chassis are more durable and cost effective Schumacher developed S2 material.
