As for excitation with the earth smoke you come
It participates to the worldwide rally championship commencement game Monte Carlo rally 2007, C. [atokinson] 4 rank, P. [soruberugu] is 6 rank and the electromotive radio control car assembly kit of the Subaru in presser WRC which carries out double winning a prize. The rally car it seems, tar Mack (pavement road) of course can enjoy also travelling of the gravel (not yet pavement road). As for the chassis DF-03 for the 4WD racing buggy in the one for rally car [modeihuai] DF-03Ra which is done. Torsional rigidity was high, weight ones the good balance which it concentrates arranges on the center adopted the monocoque tub, the high performance built in the ball diff. inside the direct vent system gear box front and back. As for suspension 4 wheel double wishbone which installs the oil damper. Coupled with the polycarbonate make body which reproduces the forum of force to real, lifting the earth smoke, it is the machine where the exciting running matches.

Adoption buggy based DF-03Ra chassis
The battery for travelling which becomes weight ones in vertical ranging, adopting the DF-03Ra chassis, the monocoque tub of the good balance high rigidity which loads the RC mechanic onto the rear approaching in center. It arranges the propeller shaft in shortest distance, equips the ball bearing and decreases drive loss, equipping the ball diff. inside the direct vent system gear box of compact front and back. Wide setting is possible e.g., as for 4 wheel double wishbone suspension which installs the CVA oil damper, adjusting the length of the upper arm, it can change camber angle, can choose the installation position of the oil damper. The tire being the dirt road surface, choice did the rally block which shows satisfactory grip power.

Adopting the suspension arm of private geometry. The upper arm be able to do length adjustment, the oil damper plural arranging installation position of the upper arm, setting is possible.

The rear suspension which the front in the same way can enjoy setting. You set also the rear suspension arm which corresponds to the short wheel based (251mm) body.

Building in the ball diff. to the compact front and back gear box. Sufficient traction is produced even in the dirt road surface.
