Mach 4 One competition formula kit

Italtrading have introduced the Mach 4 One competition formula pan car kit. The 1/10th scale car is based on a carbon fibre main chassis and designed for the use with in-line mounted shorty battery packs. Wings hanging off of the very narrow chassis allow to securely mount the speed controller and receiver but the controller can also be attached in-line with the battery and steering servo. The latter sits in a “floating” aluminium mount to allow for a natural flex movement of the chassis in corners. The front suspension features an aluminium bulkhead and its design allows to fine-tune the roll centre using both the lower and upper wishbones. The lower wishbones also incorporate a droop setting feature and they also cover the spring duties due to their 1-piece design. The kit is rounded out by an aluminium motor pod, a heavy duty ball differential and ETS-legal Mon-Tech front and rear wings.
