RC MAKER SP2 1/10th EP Touring Car – Steel

Description

Introducing the All-New RC MAKER SP2 Touring Car – Steel Chassis Kit

Built on an uncompromising drive to create a distinct, innovative, and highly competitive touring car platform, the SP2 is engineered for everyone from novice drivers to professional racers.

The SP2 is the evolution of 18 months of intensive development, building directly on the proven success of the SP1. Taking key insights from worldwide race wins across diverse tracks, we preserved the winning DNA of the SP1 while re-engineering the entire platform from the ground up to address every area of potential improvement.

This specific configuration is the Steel Chassis Kit, featuring a 1.2mm Spring Steel (137g) chassis with a premium PVD coating and no centre weights.

Estimated Shipping: 3rd Week of August

Technical Features & Specifications

Suspension

• Modified Class Ready: Integrated mounting for an optional centre belt tensioner.

• Low FDR Support: Ample pinion gear clearance and motor travel for aggressive gear ratios.

• Tunable Top Deck: Includes cuttable tabs to precisely dial in your flex preferences.

Drivetrain

• Threaded Aluminium Diff Halves: Creates the clearance necessary for longer suspension arms.

• Refined Gear Mesh: Optimized diff gear spacing holds up under high-stress conditions.

• Coupler-Free Driveshafts: Utilizes larger bearings directly on the shafts to cut down on rolling resistance and component wear.

• Lightweight Hardened Outdrives: Premium driveshaft components reduce rotational mass and wear.

• Heavy-Duty Centre Pulley: Supported by larger bearings for structural integrity under full load.

• Upgraded Bearings: Premium ball bearings installed throughout for long-lasting smoothness.

Bumper & Body Mounts
