Features
Suspension & handling Fixed-arm front end with optional upper arms to dial in caster and camber. Torsion-style side links replace a conventional side spring — three stiffness options let you adapt to track grip without a spring kit.
Chassis Steel chassis plate keeps the centre of gravity low. The insert-adjustable roll centre lets you tune chassis roll to suit grip conditions. Pitch, roll, and droop are further adjustable via the threaded aluminium centre shock, spring collars, and side damper tubes.
Rear pod Two-piece rear pod with Factory Team carbon fibre shims for quick axle height changes. The gear differential is included and compatible with a wide range of aftermarket options.
Steering Adjustable servo mount allows Ackermann fine-tuning on the fly — no rebuild required between runs.
