The FANTOM EP 4WD Ext CRC-II captures a key moment in RC racing history, brought back with practical refinements. Originally successful in 1980s competition, this version keeps the classic driving traits while updating areas that matter for current hobby use. It fits collectors who value authenticity and drivers who want a tuneable vintage platform.
The ladder chain drive and front one-way bearing deliver the traditional power distribution that made the original so distinctive. Combined with the integrated 3P suspension, the package provides surefooted cornering. The updated front suspension and a direct servo saver sharpen steering control for modern driving demands.
The CRC-II body profile stays true to the original aerodynamic intent, offering stable handling at speed. Modern touches like a CNC 3-piece motor mount and adjustable oil dampers give improved mechanical precision and contact patch consistency. Lighter knuckles and wheel nuts help reduce rotating mass.
Fine adjustment is straightforward: the rear axle height adjuster alters ride height and chain tension, while the pinion options let you vary gearing for different track types. The adjustable servo mount accepts many mini servos and simplifies setup changes between sessions.
Whether on display or at club nights, the FANTOM EP 4WD Ext CRC-II balances period-correct engineering with sensible modern upgrades, making it a versatile choice for retro-minded enthusiasts.
