1992 saw the release of the Nitro 10 MK2. The Mark 2 version brought an updated S15R2 .15 motor and expanded vehicle lineup to the existing Schumacher Nitro 10 platform.

Yeah nah, that's not correct. Mk1 was Irvine S15R at .15 / 2.5cc. Mk2 Irvine S15R2, still at .15 / 2.5cc - just a few slight improvements (block, carb, etc.). Mk3 came with the option of a .12 engine (a Leo, from memory), or no engine at all, and you could install your own with a specific engine in...

The Cougar 2000 came out in 1993 as Schumacher's replacement for the Cougar II 2wd buggy. Gone was the aluminum chassis and belt driven transmission, replaced by a double deck fiberglass chassis, gear driven trans, as well as longer control arms and other improvements.

How was it?! You mentioned no one had kits for sale but how was the show otherwise? Worth going to? All hype? Get any pictures?

...inquiring minds want to know.

Purdy Disco II...

...bummer the show was small, at least the Off Road Expo made up for it a little. Tough one on the vendors area (or show in general) not meeting expectations too. Surprised your son isn't tearing your sleeve off telling you the kind of car he wants.

1996 brought to market the Schumacher Scale Tourer... SST 2000. Utilizing the Cat 2000 drivetrain in a 4wd 1/10 double deck touring car chassis the SST 2000 would see yearly updates to improve handling. First in 1997 with the SST 2000 SP which replaced the transverse stick battery mount with saddle ...

Thanks for that! Perhaps the bearings it comes with aren't sealed bearings, that must be why Amazon was recommending the FastEddy kit with it. Amazon makes the recommendation as an upsell, not because the kit doesn't come with bearings. It's their version of... would you like to supersize your orde...

That's gotta be the slickest nitro conversion to ever wear a Tamiya badge... if someone didn't know better they'd think it was factory.

Two thumbs up!

Ya know... I couldn't agree more! ...

A nitro version of Schumacher's SST 2000 electric 4wd touring car hit the market in 1998, dubbed the Nitro SST it retained the same Cat 2000 4wd buggy sourced drivetrain as the electric SST but on a nitro specific twin deck carbon fiber chassis:

How do u guys do this stuff? I hate being a 🦕 with tech Like learning to play an instrument, just pluck along until one day you're in a Steel Dragons cover band and get pulled up on stage and into rock-n-roll history... ...wait... was that a movie??? https://emojis.slackmojis.com/emojis/images/1643...

Schumacher introduced an all new 2wd buggy in 1997, the Fireblade 2000. An exercise in radically lower center of gravity, everything on the Fireblade was about getting vehicle weight as close to the ground as possible. The redesigned slipperless gear driven transmission, reduced height carbon fiber ...

In keeping with Schumacher's history of continual evolution 1998 saw the release of the Fireblade 2000 USA. Changes over the original Fireblade included a relocated transmission for lower polar rotation, bulkhead refinements, and a return to conventionally mounted shock absorbers. 1998 Schumacher Fi...

The XT's more powerful engine sat atop a bright yellow powder coated Cougar style aluminum chassis with revised shock towers and chrome turbo vane wheels. The Nitro 21 XT could be had as a Stadi...
