For enthusiasts who appreciate the finesse of radio-controlled car driving combined with the allure of classic automotive design, the Kyosho FAZER series chassis paired with a meticulously crafted car body is an unbeatable combination. Kyosho elevates the standard touring car chassis to new heights with a complete model overhaul, enhancing performance and streamlining maintenance. A more simplified design with fewer components not only makes upkeep easier but also reduces overall weight. Crucially, core strength and rigidity are significantly improved through the introduction of advanced materials, ribbing, and stiffeners strategically placed at the front and rear. This symmetrical chassis design ensures exceptional front-rear balance, working in harmony with the suspension to deliver responsive handling, regardless of the power source. Equipped with front and rear gear differentials, oil shocks, and full ball bearing specifications, this chassis is built for durability and impact resistance, allowing drivers to fully explore its potential. The inclusion of brake disc wheel hubs with dual offset options (0mm, +5mm) provides compatibility with both 190mm and 200mm body widths. Furthermore, by substituting readily available parts (sold separately), the wheelbase can be adjusted to 260mm, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of 1/10 scale body styles, including the exquisitely detailed body included in this Readyset package. This comprehensive Readyset package arrives fully assembled, requiring only a battery and charger for the chassis, and batteries for the transmitter to get you driving.
