Excelerate RC Prodigy Pro 10 235mm Chassis Kit
A year after becoming an onroad chassis manufacturer with the announcement of their Prodigy 12 1:12 chassis, US brand Excelerate RC has just unveiled their all-new Prodigy Pro-10 kit. Excelerate RC say the Prodigy Pro 10 is the culmination of over 36 years of racing experience, 43 Roar National Championships and IFMAR World Championship Final appearances. The main chassis is comprised of an aluminium battery tray that is the foundation for the damper blade suspension. The front chassis plate is machined from 7075 T6 aluminium while the rear flex plate and pivot plate are machined from heat treated steel to keep the centre of gravity ultra low. Premium carbon fibre components complete the main chassis. The Pro Kingpin front suspension is sliding kingpin style front end but with refinements to the details to allow improved consistency and driving precision. The 5 degree front kingpins are machined heat treated steel with an ultra smooth electroplate coating. Paired with with low friction steering block bushings that feature an internal groove to carry grease that keeps the front end damping constant from start to finish. The Pro Kingpin Adjusters allow for quick and accurate preload adjustments just by turning the adjuster.
-3.0 degree steering blocks come standard along with Excelerate RC’s 5.0lb front springs. The front carbon plate is extremely solid to minimise flex for the most precise feel possible while having a simple 3 bolt mounting system that keys into the chassis mounts for perfect alignment every time. The front end is also paired with our own servo saver that comes standard with an aluminium crank to reduce the package size and allow the servo to be mounted as low as possible. The rear suspension is the first multi-axis suspension system of its kind. Featuring four pivots that provide adjustable roll centre and the ability to change roll axis of the chassis while isolating the roll vs bump characteristics. Bump and roll characteristics can be adjusted using optional flex pivot’s that allows improved rough track handling as well as increased forward traction. These changes can be made in a matter of seconds with optional flex pivots and O-rings. This design is combined with our rotary damper rod that is seated into the battery tray. These rotary damper rods can be fined tuned for a variety of track conditions while the kit comes standard with 3.0lb rear springs. The rear axle tube is machined from one solid piece of aluminium to ensure perfect bearing alignment. The rear axle tub features an alignment mark to assist with rear track width measurements. The lightened titanium rear axle features a knurled end that the right-side hub is pressed onto to ensure a permanent bond between the axle and the hub.
