The Timeless Appeal of the 1967 Pontiac GTO in RC Form
For RC enthusiasts who appreciate a blend of classic American muscle and modern engineering, the Kyosho 34431T2 is an exceptional choice. This model captures the essence of the iconic 1967 Pontiac GTO, known for its sleek lines and powerful presence, now reimagined on the FAZER Mk2 FZ02L chassis. Designed for both performance and realism, this ready-to-run set provides an exhilarating experience for hobbyists of all levels.
Chassis Design: A Fusion of Simplicity and Strength
The FAZER Mk2 FZ02L chassis is crafted to deliver exceptional durability and ease of maintenance. With a simplified design that reduces weight without compromising strength, this chassis features a symmetrical layout that ensures balanced handling. Key components are reinforced, and the integrated gearbox enhances torsional rigidity, making it robust enough for various terrains. The use of nylon materials further improves impact resistance, a crucial factor for high-speed runs and tight cornering.
Performance and Customization Options
Equipped with oil shocks and full ball bearings, the Kyosho 34431T2 offers smooth handling and reduced drive loss. The inclusion of a slipper clutch and gear differentials on both the front and rear enhances its adaptability across different surfaces. For those looking to customize, the model supports a range of pinion gears from 29T to 37T, allowing drivers to fine-tune their gear ratios for optimal performance. Additionally, the brake disc wheel hubs come with two offsets (0mm and +5mm), providing compatibility with both 190mm and 200mm body styles.
Realism Meets Functionality
The "Ultra Scale Body" of the 1967 Pontiac GTO is a standout feature, meticulously replicating the details of the original car. This attention to detail extends to the vintage touring car tires and Rostyle type wheels, which complement the overall aesthetic. The model also features light buckets compatible with LED units, enhancing its realistic appearance during night drives.
