Mikimodel MS1.0 1.5mm Steel Chassis

Another new Yokomo specific release from Italy’s Mikimodel is their new 1.5mm steel chassis for the MS1.0 Electric Touring and which is compatibility with previous models such as the BD12/BD11/BD10.  The steel chassis is intended for use on asphalt but can also be used in indoor conditions on carpet.  During testing they worked hard to find the right weight and above all the correct flex of the chassis which was not easy finding the right compromise to unload the chassis and work on the torsion points.  Only after many tests did they also managed to find the right material and the right treatment for the chassis.  Using the steel chassis, Mikimodel say they have found an extremely balanced combination, giving the possibility of extremely easy driving in different conditions.
