This shaft-driven 4WD chassis kit features a front midship motor and transmits power from the spur gear in the center via identical length front and rear long propeller shafts, which allows running on surfaces from on-road to flat dirt. 39T differential gears front and rear, and one setup option 40T differential gear are included, facilitating changes to drive balance. It features optimum balance and a slim chassis, plus 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension with aluminum-cylinder long oil dampers.
A responsive, robust steering setup features aluminum servo stay, hi-torque servo saver, and turnbuckle steering rod for quick fine-tuning.
This image goes close-up on the front double-wishbone suspension, which features caster blocks with an angle of six degrees.
Long dampers with aluminum cylinders expertly cushion the chassis. Upper turnbuckle arms and universal drive shafts come as standard.
Power from the front-midship motor goes to the front and rear of the chassis via a pair of indentical length propeller shafts.
Front and rear sealed gearboxes each contain a gear differential for superior performance; change their oil to fine-tune setup.
The double wishbone rear suspension is pictured here. With use of separately sold Item 53539, upper arm position can be adjusted.
The rear of the model is also fitted with high performance long dampers that employ precision aluminum cylinders and blue caps.
The longitudinally-positioned battery is on its side, contributing to the narrow chassis. It is secured via lever design battery holders.
This profile view of the XV-02 PRO shows just how low-profile the chassis is, while stil maintaining considerable ground clearance.
White dish wheels are paired with rally block tires that give a controllable drive on-road and on flat dirt.
The flat chassis bottom and skid angle on the front bumper further contribute to flat dirt performance.
Attached with sponge tape, the included polycarbonate chassis cover helps keep stones out of the chassis.
