The completed chassis...

Inserting the battery is as easy as ABC...

This is Tamiya mid range buggy chassis... This 1/10 scale 4WD electric buggy is specially designed to excel in off road buggy racing... It features a mid rear mounted motor and longitudinally mounted battery for optimum balance for jumping... Battery is inserted through the bottom of the chassis eliminating the need to remove the bodyshell which makes routine maintenance easy and quick... High performance shaft drive 4WD combines with suspension system that feature extra long suspension arms for improved stability and off road handling... The reason for such long suspension travel is because off road racing normally will have lots of jumps... Besides that, by using shaft drive, you don't have to worry about sand or small pebbles because all the diff and gearing are seal... No more snapping belt...

My previous post, I posted a chassis called DF03RA... Actually the chassis is exactly the same as this chassis... Albeit there are some modification done to the suspension, suspension arm and damper stay...
