Engineered for adaptability, the RT5 includes velvet-coated shocks that ensure long-lasting performance. The shock blocks at the front allow for 2mm adjustments, enabling fine-tuning to match driving styles and surface conditions. Additionally, the newly designed stadium truck body enhances aerodynamics, contributing to improved rear traction and handling.
