Smokem Racing AT1 RS chassis

Continuing to extend its range of RS Series chassis, Smokem Racing has added one for the Xpress AT1 1:10 Electric Touring Car to the line-up. The AT1 RS incorporates a number of design improvements that deliver major benefits over the kit chassis. Smokem has changed the overall width to 84mm, with material added to key areas of the profile and the 1.5mm deep pocket on the battery side removed. These key changes enhance the flex characteristics of the AT1 and improve its drivability over a wider range of track conditions and temperatures. The RS chassis allows shorty LiPo packs to be mounted towards the front of the car, to counteract the stock AT1’s rear-biased weight distribution with three positions providing fine tuning according to the weight of your shorty pack. The RS chassis also features a lengthened motor recess to allow racers to space their motors further forward to improve weight distribution. An additional battery stop can be added on our RS chassis to further improve battery location/retention.
