McPappy Racing Dart 2.5 oval chassis

McPappy Racing have introduced the Dart 2.5 and have released a Dart 2.5 Standard Kit and a Dart 2.5 Team Kit. This newest version was designed to stay flatter and turn harder and it has an offset and super offset T-plate position. Shorter wheelbase and lightened pod plates, the left side of the chassis was moved out .100″ to increase the left weight percentage and also taking advantage of the newest Protoform D-HD nationwide body. The LiPo strap brace was moved to the rear of the battery allowing the battery to move toward the LF wheel. This increased front weight percentage. They also added new rubber o-rings designed to work with the carbon fiber flex braces which eliminates all tweaking and finally new standoffs flatten the angle of the side shocks which in testing, has all proven to be better.

Designed for 1/8 & 1/10 on-road nitro engines, but working with most current centrifugal-axial clutches, the new Hudy clutch tool allows you to easily mount/dismount the clutch spring preload collar and make fine preload adjustments. For mounting, insert the preload adjusting collar into the tool, press onto the spring, and then start threading it onto the clutch nut. Dismounting is done in the reverse order.
