RE: Schumacher Menace 21
www.rctruckz.com lots of info/vids about it
http://www.racing-cars.com/main.asp official webby
www.glypo.co.uk a guy that knows the menace inside out
The menace is a good ST, from stock its pretty tough, but remember it goes 2-3 times faster than any other ST & its a 1/10 scale, so some hop ups are a must. The Newest truck from shummy is the Havoc Stunt Truck, 1/8 2WD single gear, but desigend for bashing in mind & to what ive read about it over on shummy forums, its a great truck at a very good price

RE: Schumacher Menace 21
i personally own one with the alu front suspension (full)
and it is SOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOL
i beat a friend's corvette Z06 with it!
the .21 engine has waaaay too much power,
even the awd can't handle it, but that's a good thing[>:]
handling is really nice since it's derived from an on-road.
break in is real easy, engine runs very easily, starts without a problem (drill start) and pulls like no other.
the clucht is firm and engages right at the point where the engine pulls the most,
and the brakes,....
well, let me put it like this, if you stab the brakes on a grippy surface, the car just flips overtop of its front wheels...

RE: Schumacher Menace 21
an .18 into a 1/16??? wow....that's unreal, what are they making it for? just so you can laugh the whole time you drive it??? That's insane! That havoc doesn't look too bad, a bit high priced for what it is, but i havn't heard much about schumacher, are they a pretty good company? probably a higher class?

RE: Schumacher Menace 21
I have had the menace for about 6 months, the only problems I am having with it is because it is my first R/C and my inexperience is painfull for this lightning fast truck. If someone knew what they were doing and modded this thing out I think it would have HUGE possibilities. Schumacher was born as a street car company, and are in my oppinian great at installing extar powerfull engines on light vehicles. I think it's an awesome truck and worth the money, but not a great starter truck.

RE: Schumacher Menace 21
Iw as actually thinking about purchasing this car. While it would be my first car, I kinda of want something extremely fast I mean lightning quick. Anyone know some other cars that are just stupid fast that might be a little easier to get parts for out here on the west coast?
