    Schumacher Fusion build #1 From .21 to .28 conversion

    Earlier in this thread I mentioned that the body was a bit old and I needed to replace it. Well, thanks to a friend in the UK I managed to snag the exact same body but in much better shape Actually I grabbed a few, and now I have too many 😂

    Long time since I took this car out. Dusted it off a bit and gave it some new fuel lines.

    Oh a menace, yea those are super cool! I’m actually planning to get a menace gtr (same vehicle but road car version) at some point in the future. I’ve seen some nice menaces pop up but rarely below $300, which is sort of the bottom for nitro Schumacher stuff lately. If I see one for sale for a...

    Schumacher f350? What’s that? And I’m saving the stock body, it has a lot of wear on it from being taken off so many times. I’m passively searching for a new body, but nothing really catches my eye. I want it to be something special. I’ve considered opening and painting my saleen mustang body...

    Schumacher Fusion build #1 From .21 to .28 conversion

    I haven’t posted this car in a while but I have been doing some things in the background. This is what it looked like today it had a purple tuned pipe and wide wheels which are going to have foam on them But I wanted to address some problems. Ever since I had this car the shocks leaked, I...

    Schumacher Fusion build #1 From .21 to .28 conversion

    Thought I was nearly done with upgrades but I found some more purple titanium turnbuckles that I needed and an alloy brake hub ratchet Had to disassemble quite a lot of the car just to get to the gears Stock plastic vs metal upgrade Once it went on everything went back together...

    Schumacher Fusion build #1 From .21 to .28 conversion

    Yes I built it piece by piece using new old stock, heck of a challenge to find the parts.

    I get where you’re coming from and I do wish I could run them all. The other day I fired up one of my nitro drift cars to test it on the bench and I did miss the smell haha. I have a bunch of RS4 nitros that I’ll be selling off, maybe I’ll keep one to run for nostalgia.

    Schumacher Fusion build #1 From .21 to .28 conversion

    I think you’re right but am not totally sure. Sometimes I see new engines for sale but definitely not anymore old production parts sadly. Honestly it won’t even make it to first start up, I built this to be the crown jewel of my collection, and parts were next to impossible to find. Most parts...

    Schumacher Fusion build #1 From .21 to .28 conversion

    Here is the car when I first bought it, just a standard Fusion 21 with the Subaru WRC body. Brand new condition, never driven. What’s notable about these cars is the powerful Thunder Tiger .21 that’s mated to the factory 3 speed transmission powering all four wheels using a single belt...
