Brown Engineering have introduced their latest creation, the SH Version 2. Based on the Robitronic Scalpel, this is their new link car which features flex plate technology, which controls the side to side movement. The tension of this movement can be changed through different flex plates, which are different thicknesses and so control the roll. The car still uses their custom damper tubes and micro shock and will also come with angles servo mounts and three sets of flex plates. You can still use 4 or 6 cell and it also has slots for saddle pack or single LiPo pack. Finally, the car comes with a BMI pivot and wide enough rear pod to fit most motors.
