WR-02 Chassis

The WR-02 chassis features a heavy duty monocoque which has side frames to increase rigidity. R/C unit, motor, and battery pack are positioned along the centreline of the chassis and the motor's power is delivered to the rear wheels via a fully-enclosed gearbox equipped with a differential. A wheelie bar is fitted to enable exciting, wheels in the air driving action. 4-wheel double wishbone suspension and 2-piece steering tie-rod offer smooth steering response. Tires/wheels and the gearbox/motor come pre-assembled for ease of assembly.
