German company PSM introduce this carbon fibre main chassis plate for the Yokomo B-Max III 4WD buggy. CNC-machined from 2.5mm glossy finish carbon fibre the part weights in at only 73.5g and therefore it is some 55g lighter than the kit’s aluminium chassis plate. Offering higher flexibility than its alloy counterpart the chassis is suggested for outdoor use and it comes with two additional carbon chassis stiffeners.
