The latest generation FF chassis builds on the carbon fibre double deck chassis concept of the FF-03 Evo and features a range of upgraded and newly designed parts. The chassis itself is made from 2.5mm carbon fibre with a 2mm upper deck. The suspension arms are taken over from the TRF418 while the power is transferred by a XV-01 design gearbox. The limited edition kit will also come with a 3mm aluminium motor plate and other alloy parts such as the front brace, servo mount, turnbuckles and bulkhead. The package is rounded out by a gear diff unit, fluorine-sealed ball bearings, TRF shock absorbers and dual joint universal driveshafts. The FF-04 Evo is set for a release later this year.
