What do you need when you try some dangerous jump or crash sequence? You need a stunt truck. Like stunt doubles the Schumacher Stunt truck is tougher or ready for a spill. Either way you slice it the new truck is being touted as the first truck designed for back flips, extended wheelies, or whatever you can dream up of.
Here's what Schumacher had to say about their newest vehicle
The Havoc is not just another Me-Too Monster Truck. Schumacher Racing has always been a leader creating new product categories with highly powered, ultra speed vehicles like the 21 XTR, Fusion 21 and Menace 21. The Havoc is highly powered, featuring a new Thunder Tiger .28 Pro engine, and it is fast, with a top speed over 50 mph but it does a lot more!
Everywhere you look you see monster truck videos showing drivers launching trucks off huge ramps and quarter pipes. The results are usually spectacular crashes and broken cars. Hobbyists see this and want to do the same things but get frustrated buy the frequency and cost of repairs. The concept of the Havoc Stunt truck revolves around control and survivability. The Havoc is 2wd because 2wd trucks are easier to control in the air then 4wd trucks. 2wd trucks have half the rotational inertia of a 4wd truck so throttle or brake inputs result in changes in attitude or controlled flips not out of control movements. Special suspension geometry, 70mm of suspension travel per corner and and minimal chassis overhang allow the Havoc to right itself and end up wheels down even after less than perfect landings. The Havoc's oversized suspension components are designed to survive when things don't go quite as planned. The Havoc is not unbreakable but it will survive most tumbles and hard landings that would send the owners of other trucks on a trip to the local hobby shop.
The Havoc opens the door to an all new category of R/C Vehicles...Stunt Trucks!
