HB TCXX 190mm touring car

HB have released the TCXX, the car that Atsushi Hara used to TQ the recent IFMAR World Championships in The Netherlands. The TCXX features a battery position that is set inboard as much as possible, with the motor mount further to the left to help compensate for the light weight of today’s servos, receiver and speed controllers. The 2.5mm chassis is extra-narrow to prevent rubbing in tight corners and new carbon battery holders are included to hold the battery pack securely in place. The inner pivot blocks are a new split design to allow the chassis to flex much more than is possible with single-piece designs, giving you more grip and confidence in the corners and while under power, while the one-piece top deck ensures completely equal flex over the entire car.
