RC Team Shopping! Absolute Hobbyz Shopping! Aigoin Racing 2025 all-new features: All-new one-piece chassis design with more consistent handling in all conditions and improved tweak resistance Narrower chassis shape reduce chassis drag during cornering Rear POD concept on top of chassis for less drag and improved tweak resistance Adjustable POD angle controlled by set screw at the rear of chassis for fine tuning Rear spring location improves forward traction with increased adjustability and lower CG Rear droop adjustment through rear POD spring tension that sits in a special composite adjuster Universal rear spring nut holder works for both conical and linear springs 2-piece lower pod plate mounts to the bulkheads, offering droop and pod angle adjustments with support for the side springs Ultra-light, lower CG bulkheads are foundation of new POD system Left side bulkhead has mounting holes incorporated to mount optional motor cooling fan Forward center pivot position for maximum adjustability Lowered pivot holder and small diameter pivot ball offer lower roll center positions and greater adjustment range Carbon Fiber top plate for center shock and side damper mountings New rear carbon side spring brace aligns with new POD geometry Composite Snap On™ bushings press into carbon fiber parts for secure and reliable hardware installation All-new spring-free center shock absorber with 1-hole piston provides exceptional bump handling, low maintenance, and helps lower CG. New front lower suspension arm is 1mm narrower per side for more initial steering and increased track width adjustability Aluminum lower arm pivot balls included in the kit reduce weight by 63% Hollow front kingpins improve lubrication of the front suspension Aluminum steering blocks with special factory pre-pressed Teflon insert for minimal friction and smoother movement New Ackermann positions improve steering characteristics with optional eccentric axle with 1mm less trail for greater adjustability 1.6mm side braces with a narrower design save weight and leave more space for electronics Narrower side brace mounting holders use M2.5 screws for weight savings Aluminum side link holders with 2-pin design for more rigidity and improved tweak resistance 2-pin carbon fiber side link plates integrate with aluminum holders for reliable alignment and offer 3 side link front pivot mounting positions for maximum adjustability Extra forward battery position and backstop provides more consistent handling with improved cornering speed Narrower rear wheel hubs for additional track width adjustability and improved clamping of rear axle Shorter solid axle shaft to work with new narrower rear wheel hubs Carbon Fiber front bumper aligns with new chassis shape Chassis. All-new one-piece chassis design with more consistent handling in all conditions and improved tweak resistance. Rear POD. New 2-piece rear pod concept is positioned above the one-piece chassis. The new configuration is more adjustable with improved tweak resistance. The new pod plate is used to set droop, pod angle adjustment and supports the side springs. All-new rear spring location creates more forward traction and lowers CG. Bulkheads. New lightweight aluminum bulkheads help lower CG as part of the new POD assembly, with the left side bulkhead adding a cooling fan mounting provision. Rear Assembly. The rear carbon fiber side spring brace utilizes composite inserts pressed into the plate at the hardware attachment points for easier assembly and maintenance. Center Shock. All-new center shock provides exceptional bump handling, low maintenance, and helps lower CG. The spring-free design significantly reduces weights and the 1-hole piston configuration ensures consistent handling over bumps. Dampening. All-new rear POD spring replaces the center shock spring, improving forward traction while offering increased adjustability and lower CG. Universal soft spring is included. The spring holder accommodates both conical/progressive and straight/linear springs. POD Mounting System. All-new lowered center pivot holder controls POD movement and roll center adjustment. A small diameter pivot ball allows for the lower roll center options and the new forward center pivot position provides maximum adjustability. Lower Suspension Arm. The carbon fiber front lower suspension arm plate is re-designed to match the new chassis and improved geometry. The lower plate is 1mm narrower per side for improved initial steering and increased track width adjustability. The new super lightweight alu pivot balls have reduced weight by 63%. Kingpins. All-new hollow front kingpins improve lubrication of the front suspension. The kingpins are nickel coated for even smoother dampening action. Steering Blocks. All-new aluminum steering blocks have special factory pre-pressed Teflon inserts for minimal friction and smoother dampening. All-new Ackermann positions improve steering characteristics. The steering blocks are machined from lightweight Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum material. Side Braces. All-new thinner side braces purposely designed to accommodate the new chassis profile for enhanced chassis stiffness. The narrow width saves weight and creates more space for electronics. Braces use new thinner M2.5 posts and screws for additional weight savings and remove weight from outer perimeter locations for improved rotation. Side Link Mounting System. The narrower and lighter side link stand and M2.5 screws reduce the weight. The side link stand features a 2-pin design for more rigidity and increased tweak resistance. The POD linkage angle adjustment provides additional fine set-up tuning. Snap Lock™ Bushings. All-new super smart XRAY Snap Lock™ Bushings replace locknuts and aluminum bushings. The 14 super small bushings reduce weight and stay securely held in place after installation for easy chassis assembly and maintenance. Battery Holder. All-new forward battery position and backstop provide more consistent handling and improved cornering speed. Bumper Holder. New carbon fiber front bumper holder aligns with the new chassis shape and provides maximum protection in crashes and perfect body shell support. The IFMAR & EFRA legal size ensures maximum aero efficiency and has a perfect fit with the 3D printed bumper. Rear Hubs. All-new narrower and lightweight rear wheel hubs have significantly reduced rotating weight, provide more secure installation on the rear axle and improve track width adjustability. Rear Axle. The ultra-lightweight steel solid axle is shorter to accommodate narrower wheel hubs. The solid axle ensures exceptional drivability and throttle response. The hollow solid axle is extremely light and durable, with a steel material that minimizes flex and makes the car more predictable to drive.
