2.5mm carbon fibre radioplate with the the middle flex-control system. The radioplate holds the fueltank, the receiver battery pack while the built-in electronic devices bracket/box, plus the center flex system

Compact composite brace and package in one single, which holds and protects the receiver and mounts both servos, which both lay on their edges, as low as possible, simply a little approval allowing for chassis flex. The cap associated with the receiverbox offers an original yet simple and easy safe owner for the cable connectors associated with the receiver, which works as a straightforward switch and is very available.
The optional carbon transponder brace mounts towards integrated electronic devices brace. When using a tiny receiver, the container has space to put on the transponder too, but must be tested for function prior to the battle. Inside our test that worked.

Minimal 125ccm fueltank in a long and narrow design, with a premounted bronze filter. The slim tank will ensure a better fuel-supply towards the motor, due to the fact fuel can go less back and forth. The labyrinth within the fueltank also keep the gas more stabile and avoids foaming. The tank also has elevated parts within the front, which can make sure the fuel stays near to the filter whenever tank is amlost empty. This produces like a caution signal a couple of seconds ahead of the tank goes completely empty, in order to try to find a safer spot to park. The fueltank has a very good springloaded limit and silicone plastic shaped seal, and contains a connection for the stress line. The inner bottom of tank allows for mounting inserts to cut back volume if needed.

The composite nylon radioplate bracket, holds a corner the main radioplate and also the strong chromed angled roll-bar, as well as mounts the adjustable ballraced belt-tensioner. An aluminum one is optional.

A lot of the topmounted screws have been in allen 2.0mm size, excluding the top suspension system brackets in 2.5mm.
