Team Magic 1/10 E4JR RTR

Team Magic have extended their product range even further with the release of the E4JR electric touring car chassis, a 95% pre-built, ready-to-run electric touring car which focuses on price and performance. No longer can you consider a chassis manufactured from plastic, instead of carbon fibre, a low spec product when it features such high quality components and features. From its intricate, but highly efficient transmission, to its state of the art suspension geometry, the E4JR has pretty much everything a racer will ever need in just one box.

K-Factory have introduced their latest option part for the Team Magic E4, a pair of aluminium hinge pin mounts.

K-Factory TM E4 Steel/Alu CVDs

K-Factory TM E4 Steel/Alu CVD shafts

K-Factory has developed a new set of high strength universal joints for the Team Magic E4 series of electric touring cars to help cope with the extra power generated by extremely powerful brushless motors and high voltage LiPo batteries. The improved strength comes from the use of specially developed K-Factory ST-Steel and an increase in drive shaft thickness. The thicker and stronger UJ combines with a lightweight aluminum wheel adapter which helps reduce the overall weight and keeps the rotating mass of the E4 transmission as low as possible.
