Description
The M-08R adds a plethora of race-spec parts to the balanced, compact RWD M-08 Concept chassis: an example being the hopped-up drivetrain with a ball differential, universal shafts featuring low-friction cross joints and lightweight aluminium swing shafts, plus 5mm wheel hubs. Turnbuckle shaft suspension arm and steering setup components simplify fine-tuning of the M-08R, and titanium-coated shafts are a durable inclusion in the kit. Carbon fibre damper stays are paired with M-Chassis big bore aluminium dampers+ featuring dedicated blue anodized top and bottom caps for a touch of class, while a 20-gram ballast weight is included to get the chassis feeling just how you want it to.
