Well, since we're showing off new stuff...

We are ready to announce the newest offering from Powell Racing Components. The new Torch 1/12 scale features all new super low pod bulkheads and a new proprietary T-bar design that keeps the cells as close to center as possible. T-bars will be offered in 2 lengths, standard and .25” shorter. Using the shorter length will allow the ESC to be mounted in the center of the car for increased balance. The rear edge of the chassis and the front edge of the bottom plate are designed to allow maximum side to side articulation from the T-bar. 1/12 scale cars don’t need much articulation but we have found that having the T-bar touch the chassis prematurely can lead to a very ill handling, unpredictable race car. Especially, when the T-bar touches the chassis through a very fast sweeper.

Email or PM for more information.
