RossMod release the JM08 Stealth chassis for the TLR22 2WD buggy. Cut from T6 alloy and hard anodised in black colour the chassis give the buggy a 10mm shorter wheelbase for improved rear traction, turn in and agility. Added front kick-up gives a safer and more composed steering while the flat rear part of the chassis plate gives greater standard anti-squat and also moves the rear gearbox providing a slight increase in weight loading towards the rear of the car. All chassis are checked for trueness and accuracy.
