Brand new PRC Quad-12 "Team" roller
This chassis isn't "like" new--it IS new. New, as in untested, untried, unmarked.
I bought the car intending to try a T-bar chassis but just haven't had time to incorporate it into my racing schedule (we roll out the carpet every other week to race--no time for testing a new car). My loss, but we're in the championship stretch and I need to stay with "tried and true". So this beauty is just taking up shelf space right now that I need for other things.
What you see here is a Powell Racing Component's 2.5mm "team" chassis with the adjustable cell positioning system. This chassis was OBVIOUSLY designed and manufactured by someone who knows and appreciates 1/12 scale cars and racing. I've inserted some information below from Mr. Powell himself regarding the unique features of this chassis.
This chassis is built up with TOP shelf parts that were purchased new for the build, not scrounged out of the parts box or off the race car. CRC pod sideplates, rear axle/diff assembly, race-tough Dura-shock, CRC adjustable servo mount, Associated reactive front suspension with cross brace for added stiffness and brand new Jaco tires f/r. Was built using shorter Yokomo YRX stand-offs and dampener post pieces for ultimate stiffness across the rear of the chassis and a Yokomo top plate. Can be easily and inexpensively converted to dampener tubes if you prefer, but as silky-smooth as this rear pod moves I'd leave it alone. Also, the body mounts and front chassis protectors aren't in the pics below but ARE included.
It would cost $300 (at Stormer prices!!) to duplicate this chassis--first $150 plus $6.00 for Priority/Confirmed shipping takes it. PayPal is fine, I'll even "eat" the fees for that.
If desired I can also put together a package of the top-shelf components necessary to make this a rtr (and win!!) car. I've got a nearly new LRP Quantum Comp 2 (four runs from new), Novak or JR 75mhz synth receivers, stock and or mod motors, JR 3550 servo, etc.
Thanks for looking!

* The parts for the Q12 are cut from the highest quality carbon fiber using a multi directional lay up. Some others use bi-directional "component grade" carbon fiber to reduce costs. We don't offer our kits in colors. The colored layers are fiberglass. It adds weight and does not contribute to the strength of the chassis. How many turquoise Indy car tubs have you seen?
*The batteries are inline with the T-bar and moved inward as much as possible. This allows the car to change directions very quickly and smoothly.
* The adjustable battery positions allow you to move the batteries forward or back over a range of .400" in .100" increments.
* The chassis and bottom plate each have a small notch located along the centerline of the car to aid in tweaking and checking width.
*And the number one feature of the Quad12? No battery tape!! Our tapeless Cell Retention System holds the batteries in place using a unique 3 point system.
