Heritage racer reborn for hobbyists

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.

Original chain drive with smart updates

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.

Vintage body, contemporary components

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.

Practical tuning for varied conditions

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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/12
  • Drive System: Chain drive 4WD
  • Wheelbase: 199-200mm (Adjustable)
  • Weight: Approx. 890g
  • Motor Compatibility: 540 class (sold separately)
  • Max Speed: 55 km/h (with Le Mans 480T BL)

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.

If you have some kit assembly experience, the build is manageable. The chassis uses traditional components and clear adjustment points, but newcomers should allow time to read the manual and check drivetrain alignment carefully.
Regular checks include chain tension, bearing condition, and shock oil. Keep the drivetrain clean and re-lubricated and inspect the one-way bearing for wear after heavy track use.
Yes, the chassis accepts modern motors and ESCs within the 540 class envelope, but check motor mount and cooling clearance. Upgrading bearings and gearing helps the chassis handle greater power.
