Why the AR Chassis suits competitive runs

The AR Chassis is the backbone of this model, constructed from durable ABS to provide a dependable, rigid base for racing. It enhances straight-line stability and accepts many TZ-style body parts for those who want to mix and match components.

Upgrade routes and wheel setup

The kit includes large-diameter lightweight wheels and arched tyres that help reduce rolling resistance and improve cornering response on a variety of surfaces. The standard 4.2:1 gear set and Type 130 motor deliver consistent performance, while common upgrades include motor swaps, gear changes, and tyre variations.

Assembly tips and track adaptability

Assembly is straightforward and suitable for both newcomers and seasoned builders. A new sticker sheet is supplied to customise the finish. The AR Chassis works well across different Mini 4WD track layouts, allowing racers to adapt setups to each circuit.

Compact, aerodynamic, and adaptable, the Aero Thunder Shot gives hobbyists a solid platform for tuning and racing in the Mini 4WD scene.
