Looks like someone was listening to you!

Edam got in touch to show us a preview of their new 1/10 scale electric on-road chassis. The car features pivot ball suspension parts as seen on 200mm nitro chassis combined with a three belt drivetrain and a very narrow carbon fibre chassis as normally seen on 190mm touring cars. Depending on the setup and tyre used an overall width of 190 to 220mm is achievable with a wheelbase of 258mm and an overall weight of around 1600g. The car is developed for an “unlimited class” use with 3S 11.1V LiPo batteries and up to 3.5T motors and GTP as well as normal touring car body shells.
