Yeah Racing M07 competition conversion kit

Following a couple of teasers on social media, Yeah Racing have finally fully unveiled their race-orientated competition chassis conversion set for the Tamiya M07 M-chassis kit. The chassis and drivetrain conversion does away with many of the standard plastic parts in favour of high-quality carbon fibre and aluminium items that not only look a lot cooler, the conversion also adds precision, adjustability and performance. It allows to use 210mm, 225mm or 239mm wheelbase settings, adds suspension adjustability and it includes a fluid-filled gear differential that improves traction while allowing to adjust diff action through different oil thickness. Two different front body mounts enable the use to utilise the standard M07 body mounting position or bumper-mounted body posts for greater body choices. Included in the set come upper and lower carbon fibre chassis parts, carbon fibre shock towers, as well as alloy bulkheads, steering assembly, suspension mounts and also ball races, battery mounts and even a set of balance weights.
