Classic 1/12 Scale Simplicity
Classic 1/12 Scale Simplicity

This rear-wheel-drive model captures the essence of 1980s on-road racers with its classic design and straightforward mechanics. It features a king-pin spring front suspension and a 3-point A-bar rear suspension system, offering a nostalgic driving experience with responsive handling and a focus on pure driving fun.

Pre-Glued & Trued Black Wheels
Pre-Glued & Trued Black Wheels

This classic racer features stylish black wheels, adopted from the Fantom EP-4WD Ext 60th Anniversary model.  The tyres come pre-glued and trued, eliminating the need for adjustments with a tyre setter, so you can hit the track straight out of the box.

Tunable King-Pin Suspension
Tunable King-Pin Suspension

Fine-tune your handling with the adjustable king-pin suspension system. Experiment with different diameter king-pins or utilise set screws to alter the caster angle and achieve your desired steering characteristics. For enhanced stability, especially during cornering, the wheel shaft is offset behind the king-pin, providing a responsive and engaging driving experience.

Secure Servo Mounting System
Secure Servo Mounting System

Enhance steering precision and durability with the upgraded servo mounting system.  A dedicated plate and aluminium mount securely holds the steering servo to the main chassis, replacing the original's double-sided and fibreglass tape mount. This robust setup accommodates various modern servo sizes without compromising chassis flex characteristics, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Carbon Fibre Chassis & Adjustable Oil Shocks
Carbon Fibre Chassis & Adjustable Oil Shocks

This classic racer features a lightweight and high-rigidity carbon fibre upper plate as standard, contributing to its responsive handling. The oil shocks are equipped with an easy-to-use dial system, allowing you to fine-tune spring tension and optimise performance on different surfaces.

Flexible FRP A-Bar Rear Suspension
Flexible FRP A-Bar Rear Suspension

The rear suspension features a highly flexible black FRP plate that acts as both the A-bar and support for the rear axle unit. This unique design contributes to a lightweight and responsive rear end, enhancing handling and overall performance.

Adjustable Wheelbase & Ride Height
Adjustable Wheelbase & Ride Height

The included motor mount, based on the modern Fantom EP-4WD Ext., offers compatibility with 540-size motors and allows for precise adjustments. By simply replacing the rear shaft adapter, you can fine-tune the wheelbase by 1mm and ground clearance by 1.3mm, optimising your setup for different track conditions and driving styles.

Enhanced Traction with Ball Differential
Enhanced Traction with Ball Differential

Experience improved traction and stability with the newly adopted ball differential, a feature not found in the original Plazma. The limited slip differential (LSD) effect enhances control and responsiveness, especially on slippery surfaces. Special wheel bolts secure the right-side wheels, and aluminium parts are finished in the Plazma's distinctive silver colour for a touch of style.

Lightweight Carbon Rear Shaft

This classic racer features a 6mm diameter rear shaft crafted from lightweight, high-rigidity carbon. Included as standard, this durable shaft effectively supports the ball differential and boasts impressive impact resistance for long-lasting performance.

High-Precision Wheel Hub for Secure Performance
