RSD TC6.2 RSD7 carbon fibre chassis

Available now from Reflex Racing is the RSD7 carbon fibre chassis for the Team Associated TC6.2 touring car. The shape of the chassis has been engineered so that the car can roll and pitch more naturally, increasing the traction and the steering of the TC6.2, which translates into more corner speed and stability. This is further assisted by the reduced width of only 85mm that has been chosen to promote more roll in the corners as well as allow to run a lower ride height when necessary. On top of that the battery position is pushed further back to increase corner entry steering. Other features include mounting holes for an optional and soon available motor mount and drilled holes underneath the front bellcranks allow easy access to the inverted bellcrank screws. Optional keyed-in carbon fibre battery holders are available separately.
