  • The body is a BLITZ RS5 body 0.4mm thick, with 60605 carbon body stiffeners.

  • Many racers didn't use body stiffeners, but I used one to improve the car's tendency to understeer.

  • This resulted in less change in the car's behavior from the start to the end, making it more stable.

  • The front bumper is a popular 3D bumper, but I used a flat type to eliminate excessive initial movement.

  • The upper arms are installed in the standard position. Reversing the front and rear arms can further improve handling, but the standard position worked well here.

  • I used an adjustable 17mm servo horn from RC Mission to lower the initial response.

  • I used R133019 5.8mm short balls for the suspension arm mounting balls to lower the roll center.

  • The universal joints are equipped with optional bearings.

  • The front bulkhead uses an R138012 carbon upper deck stiffener to prevent bulkhead flex.
