It can be used to clean and degrease plastic, rubber, aluminium, steel, lexan, vinyl, and just about any other material and it is also safe on the materials at the same time.

Mach 4 One competition formula kit

Mach 4 One competition formula kit

Italtrading have introduced the Mach 4 One competition formula pan car kit. The 1/10th scale car is based on a carbon fibre main chassis and designed for the use with in-line mounted shorty battery packs. Wings hanging off of the very narrow chassis allow to securely mount the speed controller and receiver but the controller can also be attached in-line with the battery and steering servo. The latter sits in a “floating” aluminium mount to allow for a natural flex movement of the chassis in corners. The front suspension features an aluminium bulkhead and its design allows to fine-tune the roll centre using both the lower and upper wishbones. The lower wishbones also incorporate a droop setting feature and they also cover the spring duties due to their 1-piece design. The kit is rounded out by an aluminium motor pod, a heavy duty ball differential and ETS-legal Mon-Tech front and rear wings.
