T.O.P. Rebel F1X formula kit coming soon

T.O.P. Racing have first images of their forthcoming Rebel F1X formula pan car available. No detailed features are known yet but looking at the preview images the car is based on a class-standard carbon fibre chassis with link-type rear suspension. The chassis seems to allow the use of inline or transversally mounted shorty LiPo packs and it sports an adjustable low-profile servo mount whose mounting angle can be altered using several mounting points for the aluminium mount. Up front the car features fixed lower A-arms with the upper arms being attached to the front aluminium bulkhead using pivot joints. Both the upper and lower arms are made of carbon fibre sheet material that use composite adapters to mount the steering knuckles to. More information and images should become available in time for the release.
