RC Atomic FFZV2 FWD Pro mini-size kit

RC Atomic have introduced their new FFZV2 FWD Pro mini-size chassis kit for 98mm Mini-Z body shells. After the release and success of the first generation FFZ, RC Atomic have refined the design and specification to make the chassis more suitable for high traction conditions such as found on RCP or EVA foam tracks. In addition the car offers very easy driving characteristics, making it more user friendly while performance is only a little bit under a 4WD machine. New to the FFZV2 are redesigned front arms and knuckles for increased stability in longitudinal direction with the rear suspension featuring new arm mounts and the rear UTS upper T-arm system that will increase rear suspension rigidity and side bite. The car is based on a new, wide chassis that is ideal for high-bite tracks while a redesigned ball differential ensures easy building and swift adjustment. The kit is rounded out by new plastic ball cups, new bulkheads and new shock towers and it fits all 98mm wheelbase Kyosho Mini-Z-style body shells.
