Schumacher Eclipse 6 Detailed Review

[@k1ngN0rk]

I totally forgot I was subscribed to this channel. Nice to see you back. I hope this is a comeback to regular videos.

Many thanks. I did a bunch of music production and apple product stuff around the pandemic but am working more on some of my RC interest stuff! Thanks for the comment. Appreciated!

Brilliant, Phil Davis would be very proud

Insightful as always Mark! Closing the hole off under the front bumper will reduce steering, especially at high speed.

Thanks Chris!

Outstanding video!

Thank you very much!

Great video. Thank you. Do you know if you can upgrade an Eclipse 5 to a 6?

[@MarkPayneAudio]

Well yes you could. You could do the lions share of it by buying the front end parts (including a 2 dot camber strap). You will need the rear pod carbon and the axle bits. Then you are basically there.

Congratulations, great video, very detailed and interesting. I wanted to ask something to the whole community because I’m getting a bit confused... In the instruction manual of the Eclipse 6, on page 20 in the 'front damping' box, it mentions oil from 12,000 cst to 40,000 cst, and it doesn’t mention grease... Is this a mistake, or can oil also be used?

[@MarkPayneAudio]

You could use oil. I think the grease tends to stay put and has a more lubricated feel. We tried many many things in the AWE front end and never came back from grease.

@@MarkPayneAudio Thank you very much, everything is clear.

What ball diff fits?

[@MarkPayneAudio]

Any really. The pod is pretty standard for a 12th car.
