Tony Phalen July 11, 2015 New RC Cars and Parts 108 Views

New from Team Saxo is this carbon fiber chassis and top deck for HPI’s Pro5 touring car. It is cut from a 2.2mm piece quality piece of carbon fiber with a 85mm width, allowing ample space on it for electronics while keeping it as narrow as possible to avoid touching down during hard corners. The top deck is new as well; same material, but 2.0mm thick.

This setup is designed for more flex than the stock parts and is catered for low-grip conditions.
