RC Maker SP1 Electric Touring Car

After months of build up & high anticipation RC Maker has just released its first ever 1:10 Electric Touring Car, the SP1.  A ground up development by top touring car racer and RC Maker founder, Ryan Maker, the release of the car realises a life long passion project for the popular Australian.  With over 20 years in the hobby and 8 years in the design and manufacturing industry, Maker always dreamt of being able to develop his own car kits.  This dream has been brought to reality over the past 2 years, with all of the design done in house as well as much of the manufacturing and prototyping.  Presenting the SP1, a touring car that challenges established concepts with an ultra-low centre of gravity coil-over shock absorber design.  The SP1 is designed for everybody.  A car that is easy to drive straight out of the box, with great durability.  The SP1 can be tuned for any drivers taste and any track condition through its vast range of setup options and option parts.
