Gizmo GZ1 2017 electric touring car kit
Gizmo Racing USA have introduced the 2017 variant of the GZ1 electric touring car. The latest variant has been refined to an all-new level, making it more adjustable, more durable and easier to drive. The GZ1 2017 still features the patented 2-main-gear drivetrain system, which makes is possible to have a 100 percent centred drivetrain and it features a new chassis and redesigned side rails, all cut from premium 2.0mm quasi isotropic carbon fibre. The 2017 version chassis has a new shape that is narrower at the sides and especially at the droop screw locations, which allows for a more natural roll characteristic with less chassis drag. Also new are the patented one-piece vertically mounted top decks for increased stiffness. These new pieces now integrate the option to run two more posts in between the two vertical rails to adjust the car’s overall stiffness and change the flex points.
On the drivetrain side, new extra low-friction belts, ultra light double joint front universals and rear CVD universals are driven by revised high-grade alloy out drives that are 1.5mm wider for better driveshaft plunge while still maintaining a low rotational weight. Included in the 2017 are also new upper arms for more durability and less weight while sill allowing for full caster, active-caster, camber, roll centre, droop, dive, anti-squat, front toe-in/out, rear toe, and linear and re-active ARS type adjustments. The kit is rounded out by a new integrated steering rack stop for more reliability and steering feeling.
