A Closer Look at the Real Mazda RX-7 FD3S
The Mazda RX-7 FD3S is celebrated as one of the best-handling sports cars ever made. Its RE13B rotary engine, coupled with a twin-turbo system, delivers a unique driving experience that enthusiasts crave. The car's lightweight design and perfect balance make it a dream for drivers, while its appearances in films like "The Fast and the Furious" and games such as "Gran Turismo" have cemented its status in popular culture.
Unpacking the TT-01 Chassis
The TT-01 chassis is known for its user-friendly assembly and robust performance. This 4WD shaft-driven chassis features a bathtub design, coil spring dampers, and a 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension system. The sealed front and rear differential gearboxes ensure smooth handling, making it ideal for both beginners and seasoned racers.
Features That Stand Out
Equipped with an electronic speed controller (TEU-101 BK) and a type 540 motor, this kit promises reliable power and control. The included LEDs for headlights and taillights add realism, automatically illuminating when the car is powered on. For those looking to enhance their lighting setup, the TLU-02 Light Control Unit (ITEM 53937) can be added for advanced light operations.
