  • Publication number: 20180126290
    Abstract: Remote control vehicles may benefit from a chassis that is easy to adjust. For example, an adjustable chassis may contain a front suspension arm that quickly and easily allows shock position changes without requiring disassembly of the shock and while maintaining the same suspension travel. The adjustable chassis may contain a rear camber block with camber inserts that quickly and easily allow changes in roll center without having to remove ball studs. The adjustable chassis may also include a rear shock tower that sweeps forward to allow mounting of the wing closer to the front of the vehicle, thus improving vehicle aerodynamics.
