This is my 3rd and largest order from RC Jaz so far and I have to say I've been very impressed with this store. Everything arrived in perfect shape and order, very well packaged and delivered quickly bearing in mind this had to come from the other sid
The FM-A chassis handles graded and technical tracks well thanks to its aerodynamic focus and low centre of gravity, making it a solid choice for mixed-course events.
The 3.5:1 gear ratio provides a useful compromise for sprint formats, but you can experiment with different ratios to prioritise top speed or acceleration depending on the course.
Most changes use basic hobby tools like small screwdrivers and pliers; specialised items like bearing presses are optional for advanced upgrades.
Improve corner exits by tuning tyre compound, lowering friction at contact points, and optimising gear ratio and motor torque for better acceleration out of bends.
