WRC F-One ‘014 kit & STX option parts

WRC F-One '014 kit & STX option parts

Italian company WRC Racing introduce their latest formula 1 kit in the form of the F-One ‘014 as well as new option parts for the STX touring car. Starting with the kit, information about the exact features are not available yet but looking at the renderings the car received quite a makeover compared to its predecessor with new front suspension parts that now feature vertical lower and horizontally mounted upper pivot balls, the steering is of a single bellcrank design with the steering links sitting very low as does the bellcrank thanks to a special design where the servo links attach from above while the actual steering lever sits below in a mid-deck. The main chassis place is cut from carbon fibre and very short, compared to the usual designs as the front of the chassis is made up by a separate parts that houses a low-profile steering servo and the steering assembly. The battery compartment takes a 2S shorty pack and the rear motor pod also looks redesigned but we have to await official information on the full features.
