Chassis, Suspension and Drivetrain

The RC10 Jay Halsey Edition features a design that remains iconic even decades later. The chassis is made from T6 aircraft-grade aluminum in a monocoque tub configuration, offering both rigidity and lightness for superior handling on rough terrain. The fully adjustable 4-wheel independent suspension is enhanced by long-throw, fluid-filled aluminum shocks, ensuring smooth handling over bumps and jumps. The A-arm/ball joint suspension system provides customizable tuning for camber, caster, ride height, and spring rate, giving racers a high level of control over the vehicle's performance.

The rear suspension incorporates a durable dog-bone and stub axle drivetrain, with a low-profile gearbox housing the VariLok adjustable differential, protected by an integrated motor heat sink. These race-proven components deliver exceptional ground clearance and a low center of gravity, making the RC10 highly adaptable to various track conditions
