A Closer Look at the TB-03 Chassis
The TB-03 chassis is a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the TB-02, featuring a bathtub frame with an innovative motor cooling duct for enhanced thermal management. This ensures optimal performance during extended runs. The in-board Front Suspension system, with its horizontally-mounted dampers, maintains a low-profile nose, perfectly complementing the aerodynamic body design.
Performance-Driven Features
Designed with racing in mind, the TB-03 chassis includes several high-performance components. A newly-designed one-piece aluminum motor mount facilitates easy gear changes and adjustments, while the three-piece propeller shaft ensures smooth power delivery. The inclusion of front and rear ball differentials enhances power transmission efficiency, making it a formidable competitor on the track.
Complete Package for Enthusiasts
The kit comes complete with a detailed body, wheels, tires, and a Type 540 motor. While the ESC, 2-channel R/C system, 7.2V battery, and charger are sold separately, this setup allows hobbyists to customize their driving experience based on personal preferences and requirements.
