Rebellion-RC T4 MM mid-motor chassis conversion kit

Following a couple of preview renderings RC-Carbonstore have finally fully unveiled their Rebellion-RC mid motor electric touring car conversion kits. The upgrade sets centre around the patent pending sliding motor mount design that allows gear mesh adjustment through the chassis bottom, with the narrow design of the whole assembly ensuring the overall motor and battery width remains the same as in the “rear motor” standard cars, creating a very centralised weight distribution and less unwanted chassis roll compared to current mid motor conversions. In addition the design makes for an ultra low centre of gravity while allowing integrated flex settings via up to seven motor mount screws. The sliding design also ensures a very wide gear mesh adjustment range, fitting up to 48T pinion and 114T main gears, making the conversion ideal for both stock and modified racing alike. The final specification of the kit now also incorporates three chassis stiffness adjustment areas that allow to brace the upper and lower deck in front of the rear bulkhead, in front of the centre shaft and behind the front bulkhead – allowing to access complex chassis flex settings.
