A GR8 M-Chassis Addition
This assembly kit creates the M-08 Concept high performance R/C chassis, which employs a midship motor, rear-wheel drive layout for superior rear traction, plus a main frame split into front and rear sections that allow 3 different wheelbases. Smooth 4-wheel double wishbone suspension utilizes CVA oil dampers and long suspension arms for a ground hugging drive, and the front caster with a pairing of 0-degree suspension mount and 2-degree hub carrier. An oil-filled gear differential provides smooth drive, while motor and gearbox are positioned to ensure powerful drive under acceleration.

Featured Components

- M-07 Concept design long suspension arms
- Oil-filled gear differential
- Universal drive shafts
- Turnbuckle upper arms
- Full ball bearings
- Hi-torque servo saver (black)

- Front caster angle is set by 0-degree suspension mount and 2-degree hub carrier components.


- Long suspension arms give a ground hugging drive, and inherit the M-07 Concept design.


- Features a forward position for the low-profile servo, plus a hi-torque servo saver included.

- The midship motor is positioned to as to provide valuable weight to the driven rear wheels.


- A 4-gear layout in the drivetrain ensures that inverse torque from the motor pushes down rear wheels.


- Separate front and rear sections of the main frame allow a choice of three different wheelbases.

- Use spacers in the rear suspension setup to make fine adjustments to the chassis' toe angle.


- This chassis is compatible with square shaped battery packs such as the 7.2V Racing Pack.
