F1shop24 LightningF carbon fibre set

New from F1shop24 in collaboration with Italian RC and made for the VBC Racing LightningF is an optional main chassis, lower pod and upper plate set. Machined from 3mm high-quality carbon fibre the chassis offers higher rigidity than the stock carbon fibre chassis, making it especially useful on high to medium-bite surfaces while allowing to place the battery in an inline or transverse position. The chassis plate also utilises a shorter wheelbase compared to the stock chassis which allows for a more agile handling and higher corner speeds. The chassis was successfully tested by Olivier Bultynck at the ETS round in Luxembourg were he was able to win the Formula class. For the use on low-grip tracks there is a 2.5mm variant available also.

Starting with the Firebolt, available soon is a CNC-machined extreme lightweight aluminium motor plate as part of the company’s Dynamic range of option parts. Cut from 7075 material and coming red anodised and with extensive machining the part is 4.5g lighter than the stock unit, weighing it at only 16g, and it makes for improved motor cooling and looks without sacrificing stability. On top of that does additional machining make for more clearance towards the chassis and thus helps with undisturbed chassis flex and overall grip.
