Specifications

The 2WD BT-01 chassis – which offers choices of FF/MR/FR drive system – welcomes another R/C kit; this time, a short wheelbase, midship rear motor / rear wheel drive (MR) setup with the body which recreates the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8. The Porsche Carrera RS 2.7 is a legend of the Porsche 911 series. Developed to join European GT races in 1973, it employed a 2,687cc horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine capable of 210hp, a lightweight body with improved aerodynamics, and wide rear tires. The Carrera RSR 2.8 racing version increased displacement to 2,808cc and output to over 300hp; in 1973, it was a European GT race champion and took numerous global victories

About the Model
This is a 1/10 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 457mm, width: 204mm, height: 138mm.

Wheelbase: 251mm. (Short)

The form of the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8 is realistically recreated in lightweight polycarbonate. Silver colour wheels (front: narrow, rear: wide / rims and red wheel caps are separate) are paired with racing slick tires (front: Item 50454, rear: Item 50547). Please note that the kit does not have the inner sponges for either front or rear. A separate moulded plastic part recreates the side mirror.

The 2WD BT-01 chassis gives a choice of two types of wheelbase, and front- or rear- wheel drive system. Without removing battery pack, motor and R/C equipment setups from the centre frame, simply change attachment directions of final gears and steering linkage to switch between front- and rear-wheel drive; front (FR) or midship rear (MR) motor position can be chosen for rear-wheel drive cars. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features symmetrical structure and friction dampers. Unitized sections such as motor mount, final gears and suspension facilitate ease of assembly and effective maintenance.

Type 540 motor and ESC included.
