For enthusiasts who appreciate the sheer joy of driving radio-controlled (R/C) cars, the combination of a meticulously crafted car body and a high-performance chassis is paramount. Kyosho understands this passion perfectly, and with the FAZER Mk2 series chassis, they deliver an unmatched R/C experience. This standard touring car chassis has undergone a comprehensive redesign, pushing performance boundaries to new heights. A streamlined design philosophy, characterized by fewer parts, enhances maintenance efficiency and reduces overall weight. Simultaneously, core strength and rigidity are significantly improved through the incorporation of innovative materials, strategically placed ribbing, and stiffeners at both the front and rear. The symmetrical chassis design is engineered to create exceptional front-rear balance, working in harmony with the suspension to provide responsive control, regardless of the power source. Equipped with front and rear gear differentials, oil shocks, and full ball bearing specifications, this chassis boasts remarkable durability and impact resistance, empowering drivers to fully exploit its performance potential. Furthermore, brake disc wheel hubs with dual offset options (0mm, +5mm) ensure compatibility with both 190mm and 200mm body widths. The wheelbase can also be adjusted to 260mm (with separately sold parts) to accommodate various 1/10 scale body styles, expanding customization possibilities. The Readyset package arrives fully assembled, requiring only a battery and charger for the chassis, and batteries for the transmitter, to get you driving.
