Zen ZFC014 formula 1 chassis kit

Zen have released first images of their forthcoming ZFC014 formula 1 chassis kit. Information on specification and features are pretty vague at the moment but it is understood that the set is a conversion or “80 percent” kit that needs the addition of a Tamiya F104 front end and rear axle/differential. The carbon fibre chassis allows to use shorty LiPo battery packs in longitudinal and transversal position, it offers a single bellcrank steering and the power pod links mount in quite unconventional manner as they span from the most outward end of the chassis to a position way behind the rear axle whereas usually the links mount to the front end of the power pod plate on most cars. We bring you more information on the kit as soon as they become available.
