|
BUMPER: Captured foam bumper set, with wide foam bumper and strong upper and lower bumper-plate |
CHASSIS STIFFNERS: Composite stiffner front and rear, to give extra stiffness, but still allow some flex as needed. |
RADIO BOX: Composite radiobox which offers space for the up-right steering-servo, the receiver and sufficient space for the speed-controller. The whole assembly including linkages can be taken off easily and fast in one go, when cleaning the car, or doing maintenance. The main eyecatchers are the extremely low laydown longtudinal placed battery-packs at each side of the car, being part of the side-guards, securely fastened with a flip-lid, for easy and fast battery changes. The weight low in the car and in the right position, well balanced. The Lipo holders comply with ROAR legal packs / dimensions. |
FRONT SUSPENSION: Durable oversized lower suspension arms in strong composite nylon. On the lower side the special downstops screws are mounted. The lower shock-mounting pins are secured with a small grubscrew from the bottom. FRONT ANTI-ROLL BAR: The ballraced front anti-roll bar system, consist of a spring steel bend wire, which is guided through the diff-cases and run in ballraced steel adaptors. The wire is linked to the lower suspension arm, with a captured adjustable threaded pivotball, for very precise and low friction operation. |
SHOCKTOWER AND BODYMOUNTS FRONT / ALU SHOCK RISERS: new 4.5mm thick carbon shocktower with 5 upper positioning holes for the shocks and and 6 holes for roll-center positions. 1 centrally located adjustable bodymount , and 2 forward mounted adjustable bodymounts, all with flip-tops. The durable machined alu shock-risers in front allow for a more onroad aimed angle of the shockabsorber creating more overall grip and more predictable cornering. ANGLED STEERING SYSTEM / SERVO SAVER: The bell cranks are angled to reduce the angle of difference between the total caster and steering plane. Therefore you will have less bump steer and a truer steering Ackerman through the entire range of suspension ACKERMANN PLATES: With the design of the steering bell cranks when changing the Ackermann you will not need to adjust your steering tie rods. You simply will only need to adjust your end points on your radio. |
REAR UPRIGHTS ASSEMBLY: New aluminium, grey anodised and laser engraved uprights with 3 upper roll-center positions. Strong steel track-rods with L/R threading and strong balljoints to pre-set camber.
