Chassis:

• Proven design
• Designed to be electric from the ground up – no nitro conversions here!
• 4mm CNC 7075 aluminum hard anodized lightened chassis.
• Super narrow chassis layout – widest point is only 125mm (less than 5”) mudguard-to-mudguard.
• Class leading front and rear clearance (short chassis overhang) provides better bump handling and jump landing.
• Integrated battery tray/mud guard, battery is sunken into chassis for a super low COG.
• Adjustable, LCG lightweight wing mount.
• Integrated electronics tray/mud guard for easy removal of electronics.
• Spacious, enclosed, easy access radio box with integrated transponder mount.
• Single pack configuration is better balanced, lighter weight, and makes battery changes easier. Battery tray accommodate 2x2s packs.
• Adjustable chassis brace system for fine tuning flex with front, center, and rear braces.

Motor Mount:

• 2-piece CNC aluminum motor mount with precision dual clamping gear mesh adjustment.
• Split center diff mount for easy maintenance.
• Lightweight direct-to-diff mount design.
• Uses standard MOD 1 pinion gears (TKR4171-TKR4190).

Differentials and Drivetrain:

• 3 fluid filled adjustable super lightweight diffs.
• Less rotating mass = better acceleration.
• Lightened outdrives and diff couplers used throughout.
• Aluminum tapered aluminum center driveshaft.
• Angled rear gearbox with large bearings reduces wear.
• Straight center driveline for maximum efficiency and minimal wear.
• CV driveshafts with captured pins on all 4 wheels.

Shocks:

• Super smooth 16mm big bore shocks.
• 6mm front, 5mm rear CNC 7075 aluminum gun metal anodized shock towers are standard.
• New tapered piston design and configuration (4 x 1.8mm)
• Fully adjustable long travel suspension geometry maximizes stability and traction while providing superior cornering and on-power steering.
• CNC threaded shock bodies, caps, cartridge caps, and adjustment nuts.
• 4mm hardened steel polished shafts.
• New clamping spring perches with captured shock boots.
• Triple guide design for true consistent shaft action.
• Options for vented cap, emulsion, or standard shock configurations.
• Optional springs and sway bars are available.

Suspension and Steering:

• Adjustable front arm sweep and angle to make the car more aggressive (swept forward), or easier to drive (swept back).
• ‘Narrow pivot’ steering posts provide ‘0 bump’ geometry with almost ‘0 steering slop’.
• Adjustable CNC 7075 hinge pin braces are standard.
• New longer rear sway bar for better consistency.
• 4mm inner, 3.5mm outer hinge pins, polished for smooth action.
• Adjustable Ackerman and bump-steer (bump in, 0 bump, bump out).
• CNC aluminum Ackerman plate rides on 4 precision bearings.
• Adjustable steering stops for precise steering travel settings.

Other Features:

• High downforce wing included.
• Easily adjust anti-squat, rear toe, front arm angle, front arm sweep, roll center, toe, camber, wheelbase, rear arm length, Ackerman, bump steer, suspension geometry out of the box.
• Full set of option parts available.
• Extremely easy to work on with minimal screw count.
• All metric hex hardware.

Needed to complete:
