Schumacher Cat L1R 4WD Buggy Kit | CompetitionX

Schumacher is making some waves with the release of their new 4WD buggy, the Cat L1R!

This buggy is looking really good on paper – improved suspension geometry, lighter weight, better durability, and a long list of ‘New’ features. It’s also looking really good on the track, having already won the European EOS Championship, British BRC Nationals and the USA ROAR Carpet Nats.

Schumacher has also teamed up with JConcepts to provide the L1R with a new JC body shell!
