Chassis & Suspension Highlights:
The wide-profile 7075-T6 aluminum chassis balances rigidity with controlled flex, featuring a narrow front section for sharper steering response, a reinforced center section for improved acceleration, and a more flexible rear section that absorbs rough-track impact. A low center of gravity rounds out the chassis design philosophy. Factory-installed carbon fiber reinforcements, including front and rear chassis braces, suspension arm inserts, stiffening plates, and flex tuning components, add rigidity and long-term durability. On the suspension side, the F8001-SE supports adjustable roll centers, anti-squat, and anti-dive settings, multiple shock mounting locations, adjustable track width and wheelbase, and front and rear sway bars for a true club-to-national-level tuning range.
Drivetrain & Aerodynamics:
A full-time shaft-driven 4WD system runs through lightweight center drivetrain components and three sealed, oil-filled differentials for smooth, efficient power delivery, backed by high-strength steel drivetrain parts and a quick-access center differential design for easy maintenance. Up top, the included lightweight race body pairs with an adjustable high-downforce rear wing offering multiple angle settings and mount positions, letting racers fine-tune aero balance for any layout.
