This compact shaft-driven 4WD chassis assembly kit features a front midship motor and transmits power from the spur gear in the center via front and rear propeller shafts. A longitudinal upright battery pack is positioned in the left side, contributing to optimum balance. Changing the rear section allows a choice from three wheelbases. The 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension has aluminum-cylinder oil dampers. Front caster angle is 5 degrees, and hub carriers and uprights allow two types of ground clearance, while the front bumper skid angle reduces surface contact.

The motor is mounted midships and power goes via propeller shafts to front and rear.
Heavier equipment is placed in the middle of the chassis, and the battery has an upright position, giving this rally chassis a compact setup.
39T oil filled gear differentials are standard front and rear, and a 40T gear is also included. Use the 40T to adjust the drive balance.
S and M/L wheelbase propeller shafts are included. The same rear input shaft is used for all wheelbases.
Change the rear construction to switch between the three wheelbases.
The three wheelbases are compatible with existing M-chassis bodies.
New hub carriers and rear uprights let you choose ground clearance.
The polycarbonate chassis cover also features wheel well covers.
