Key features of the TT-02 chassis

The TT-02 platform is chosen for its ease of build and consistency on track. Symmetric suspension parts and a simple layout aid setup and repairs, while the chassis accepts a wide range of hop-up parts for improved dynamics.

The story behind the Turbo Capri

The Ford Zakspeed Turbo Capri made its mark in early 1980s racing with aggressive aero and turbocharged performance. This scaled kit mirrors the visual character that made the car notable to fans and collectors.

Tuning routes for better lap times

Common modifications include fitting bearings, upgrading to metal turnbuckles and adjusting gear ratios. For serious speed gains many convert to brushless power and tailored suspension geometry.
