T.O.P. Photon LiPo chassis conversion
Categories - Accessories, Products, TOP
T.O.P. Racing have released an optional LiPo chassis conversion set for the Photon. The new chassis plate is available in 3 versions, standard, stiff & super stiff and has eliminated the motor recess area and Sub-C battery slots meaning its stronger and the chassis flex has also been optimised. The new plate also allows the flipping of the front and rear belts to allow the placement of the electronics more towards the battery side, so the car could be balanced with a total weight as low as 1,350g. A new aluminium battery mounting, positioning and balancing system allows for 2 LiPo mounting positions for the center guide and the aluminum alloy outer guides and allows for independent fine adjustments of left/right & front/rear positions to optimize weight balancing and at the same time allows for a snug fit of any popular LiPo battery with simple alloy spacers.
