• Narrower graphite chassis is CNC-machined from 2.2mm thick premium-grade graphite material, and is 5mm narrower than the previous T4.
• Chassis is specifically designed for all kinds of track conditions, and gives increased traction, steering, stability, and improved cornering speed.
• Chassis features pre-drilled holes for optional parts such as chassis weights, graphite motor guard, graphite adjustable battery holder, and battery strap.
• Chassis designed specifically for brushless motors and LiPo batteries; composite battery holders prevent batteries from moving in crashes
• Re-designed graphite top deck gives increased in-corner steering and rear traction
• Top deck allows installation of optional aluminum stand which changes the car’s flex characteristics
• Bulkheads have been strategically placed closer to the center of the chassis to improve steering, traction, and stability
• Layshaft bulkheads allow for the removal of top deck attachment screws (front or rear or both) as the bearing is hold by the layshaft bulkhead
• Upper bulkhead clamps designed for the new super-narrow placement of the bulkheads
• Independent front and rear diff height adjustment and belt tension adjustment in both front and rear bulkheads
• 3mm-thick super-low profile shock towers lower the CG and improve stability
• Unique super-light and low-profile motor mount is separate from layshaft bulkheads for lowered CG, tweak-free motor mounting, and moves the motor 3mm closer to the centerline of the chassis
• Motor mount bulkhead is compatible with all standard brushless motors
• Centered layshaft and split bulkheads provide enhanced balance due to optimum weight distribution of the motor towards centerline, giving quicker left-right transitions
• Suspension
• Aluminum suspension holders featuring Integrated Suspension Settings (ISS) allow super fast and easy suspension geometry setting
• Suspension holders allow more durable mounting of the suspension arms, so the suspension geometry of the car does not change even after hard crashes
• The mounting system allows for very free arm movement, which gives higher traction and smoother driving and improved steering
• Suspension holder system allows suspension arms to be mounted independently from diff bulkheads allowing for elongated chassis flex to generate more traction
• Independent suspension holders allow for more precise and fine set-up adjustments via different bushings
• Rear suspension aluminum holders feature integrated toe-in
• C-hubs available optionally in standard caster angles (2°, 4°, 6°); available in two hardnesses (M – medium, H – hard)
• Hard front steering blocks increase steering response, decrease front tire overheating in high-traction conditions
• Small, robust steering blocks made from special proprietary composite material, available optionally in two hardnesses (M – medium, H - hard), and feature 2 Ackermann positions
• Rear uprights give increased stability; available optionally in two hardnesses (M – medium, H – hard)
• Rear uprights feature integrated 0° toe-in to prevent suspension geometry changes in serious crashes
• Arms feature innovative SFA^™ (Suspension Flex Adjustment, innovative and unique graphite stiffeners that allow for super-quick suspension flex adjustment to easily adjust the traction of the car in various track conditions
• Suspension arms feature integrated anti-roll bar mounts; rear arms feature 3 different anti-roll bar mounts for super-fine adjustment of the rear anti-roll bar
• Front 1.4mm & rear 1.2mm anti-roll bar wires included
• Easily adjustable wheel offset using optional shims or optional offset wheel hubs (-0.75mm, +0.75mm, +1.5mm)
• Drivetrain
• Lightweight middle layshaft CNC-machined made from aircraft aluminum
• 84T 48P spur gear – extra-hard material, wobble-free design
• 38/20T (1.9) internal gearing for efficient, high-performance drivetrain
