RS5 T15 1/5th scale Touring car

RS5 Modelsport introduce the follow up in their successful line of 1/5th scale touring cars, the T15. With a recent push to use ultra soft compound front tires, this new car has been developed with, among many other things, additional setup options to help tune out front mechanical grip if needed. A weight distribution change to increase the rear end grip of the car they created new wishbones that are offset to the front. With this modification the complete centre part of the car has been offset rearwards creating an more rear heavy car, without adding any extra weight. On the alloy chassis under the rear differential there are now 4 threaded holes to allow the user to mount additional weights to the car in this beneficial position.
