DMS Partz B44.3 carbon fibre chassis set

New from DMS Partz and made for the Team Associated B44.3 4WD buggy is a carbon fibre chassis set with Avid balance weights. As used by several of the Team Associated team drivers and also used by Team Associated’s Neil Cragg to TQ this year’s oOple race in the 4WD class the chassis is designed to be stronger and more rigid than the kit supplied aluminium offering, which results in a sharper and more responsive feel to the car. The new chassis gives drivers the option of switching the steering servo to either the left or right position on the chassis with holes provided for both layouts. In keeping with the kit options, forward or rear motor options are available and both saddle or shortly LiPo layouts can be used.
