Vintage Schumacher STORM 2000 RC stadium truck

Schumacher's STORM 2000 stadium truck straight out of the mid 1990's. Borrowing many features from the Cougar2000 series buggies, this truck is built straight up from the kit box.

Had one of these when I was younger. So wish I could get my hands on a kit now. Thank you for doing this video, it brought back so many memories.

Raced one if those in the 90s on carpet with goam tyres. It was excellent,still have it in the loft

[@Jaysqualityparts]

Wow what a cool rig ,so awesome building an old kit.

[@Bormac073]

@@Jaysqualityparts I can't wait to see four of these out on the track at the same time in a little over a week from now

[@badbarrsey]

Awesome build Jason! The perfect length and pace with excellent commentary. I can't wait to see that thing rippin around the track at the Bash!

[@Bormac073]

@@badbarrsey Thanks Dwayne. It will be an epic event and yes we'll all be treated to a lot of great experiences at the vintage bash

[@rcicons4915]

Great build Jason. Glad you were the one to build that kit. Looks like it was very enjoyable.

[@Bormac073]

@@rcicons4915 I'm busting to get this truck out on the Castle Hill track for some sweet laps. Thanks again, this truck gets to be one that stays with me in my collection.

[@AddamsPlayground]

Great video Jason! I know very little about the Schumacher line so videos like these I really enjoy. It looks really cool and other than the rear drive shafts it does not look overly engineered. Looking forward to seeing it all painted and out running around but even as it sits now it looks fantastic! Take care and thanks for sharing the experience of the build!

[@Bormac073]

Thank you Adam. I dont really advertise the extent of my rc collection but it's a sizeable one built over 20 odd years with many cars from all the manufacturers out there. I will get through them all on the channel over time and it's really great to be a part of a community that shares with friends so that we can all learn and appreciate the depth of history we all hold dear in the hobby.

[@78lagwagon]

Wow Jason, awesome build video, all that editing to speed up each build step and in between made it seamless watch, the effort is much appreciated mate

[@Bormac073]

Thanks Mikey. Yeah Im learning as I go and continue to figure creating watchable content. I appreciate your support.

[@68burnout]

Awesome build video mate. Never even knew they existed! 👍

[@Bormac073]

Thank you. As mentioned in the video I never believed these existed back when I was first told of them but here we are, 3 kit boxes and a new built truck now featured on KZbin. It's a good day for r/c in my books.

[@68burnout]

@@Bormac073 It certainly is!

[@coygtrc]

Great build, well done 👍🤝

[@Bormac073]

Thank you Gabriel. It has been a long time coming much like all the cars in my collection which will get videos over time. The Storm2000 is a real pleasure to own and finally have built up again

[@jasonvoumard1028]

Truck looks killer mate 🤘

[@Bormac073]

Schumacher really cranked out a beauty in this truck design. Thank you for checking out the video and your support.

[@jason.bochniak]

Nice build & nice truck mate. Good timing with the RC10T re-release just out. These stadium trucks are very cool.

[@Bormac073]

Thank you Jason. Believe it or not this wasn't planned to compete with the 10T videos people are throwing up out there... but it is good timing I can admit. I watched you open your 10T kit and picked up one myself.

[@jason.bochniak]

@@Bormac073 this doesn’t compete, it’s hands down way cooler mate. There’s lots of content out there at the moment around stadium trucks so you’re right on trend lol. I love the vintage cars. Cool that you picked up an RC10T. I’ve had to get hold of some imperial tools to build it along with the RC10 gold pan and the CC.

[@MadBeeRC]

Cool truck love to build one! Nice one Jason.

[@Bormac073]

Thanks MB. It was long overdue but had to be done. Im glad this one resonated with some folk out there and as always I appreciate the support.

[@rccarloverluxembourg718]

all your videos are longer but they're worth to be watched in total and it is impossible to do a good complete build & explanation video in 10 minutes, so all good :-)

[@Bormac073]

Thank you. Over covid I really dug into learning content creation and even if all is not the best to some people, I have tried my best to learn new skills, implement them and provide free videos for the r/c community to enjoy.

[@madvente]

Thank you for another great video - hopefully, they will once rerelease this kit. But first hoping for Schumacher to rerelease the Cougar 2 (Works).

[@Bormac073]

You're welcome MV. It will be interesting to see what Schumacher might release next and we can only hope it leads to a truck at some point.

[@sgzip]

Love it mate. Great build, great video of a unique truck. Look forward to some laps at the Bash!

[@leewill77rc]

Yeah that's awesome 👌 would love 1... Great video and thanks for sharing the unbox and build. 👍

[@Bormac073]

Cheers Lee. Ive owned a lot of vintage Schumacher buggies and trucks and still do but the Storm2000 is an ellusive beast.

[@lo2713]

Awsome video, and an awsome truck, i would love to find one to run at any truck events over here. Very jelouse of your nib kit. Looking forward to seeing this one on the track 😎

[@Bormac073]

Thanks so much Richard. As a fellow Schumacher enthusiast I know you would have to love this truck and Im grateful I got to own one again.

@@Bormac073 one day ? Never say never is what i say 👍

[@dennisharold8934]

Def want to see it in action try vintage race!

[@AntsRC]

wow never seen those adjustable piston before

[@Bormac073]

@@AntsRC very popular for all the shocks Schumacher had on their cars from the Cougar2 or later.

[@TeamKlockworkbassfishing]

Still have mine

[@sgzip]

Original Storm came out I think 1991 or early '92 (after the Cougar 2). The Storm 2000 would have been released first half of '94 I think. We were still running the original Storm at '94 Nationals at Keilor (January), but running the 2000 by the time of Qld Champs in June, and NSW Champs at Central Coast later in '94.

[@Bormac073]

Thank you Scott. It will be a pleasure to watch you wheel this thing around at Knox.

[@dennisharold8934]

Cool!!!

[@Bormac073]

I'm glad to see people would want to check out my video. Thank you.

[@markconnor269]

Great video mate 👍 awesome job 👏

[@Bormac073]

Thank you Mark, I appreciate you watching and leaving me a comment. It was a pleasure to release this one out to the viewing audience and share such a rare truck from back in the day.

[@rccarloverluxembourg718]

25:06s 20 years ago when I rebuild my Shu Cat 2000 I was not sure if that was the way to go, but apparently, if you do it so, might be the only possible way.

[@Bormac073]

I also owned many of the 2000 series Schumachers and they are a tough car to beat out on the race track.

[@mattdixon6396]

Very very cool build. Looking forward to seeing it do some laps.. what brand of electric driver are you using? I’m on the hunt. Thanks for the video mate.

[@Bormac073]

Thanks for the comment Matt. Im busting to wheel this truck down at Castle Hill in due time and ofcourse passing it to Scott to race at the vintage bash 3.0 in November. I picked up my electric driver from ARI Bakla @ RC HOBBYLAND in Sydney. Maybe he still sells them. They are awesome.
