While the legendary Fuchs wheels became synonymous with classic 911 racing in the early ’70s first appearing in lightweight forged form in the late 1960s and evolving into the wide 9J and 11J sizes used on the 1973 RSR competition cars our new replicas honour that iconic aesthetic in scale form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounted on these new replica wheels are matching Vintage tread tires. Styled to complement the classic look, with high sidewalls, they provide strong on-road grip and performance while enhancing the timeless presence of the 1973 Carrera RSR body. Together with the faithful wheel design, they help capture the spirit and stance of the original race car at every angle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe main chassis is formed from a single piece of reinforced plastic and features the drivetrain tunnel molded right down the middle, just like a real car. It's a step beyond any plastic tub chassis car available today.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sport 3 features full-time four-wheel drive to give you the most control and precision on the road or track. All four wheels are driven by heavy duty gear differentials at the front and rear, just like a real car. The extra traction gives you increased acceleration and cornering control for maximum confidence and fun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe drivetrain of all the Sport 3 models features the motor mounted longitudinally in the molded chassis, next to the long driveshaft that goes down the center of the car. The entire drivetrain, including the central driveshaft and gear diffs, is completely sealed to prevent dirt, rocks and debris from damaging or binding the drivetrain. The driveshaft, diffs and axles spin on ball bearings to maximize drivetrain efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGetting to the differentials for quick adjustments is a matter of removing just 4 screws - this allows you to pop out the diff and change the grease, check the gears or just give it a general service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe suspension of the Sport 3 uses the race-proven double-wishbone suspension design, similar to a full-scale modern race car. You’ll be able to control the anti-squat and anti-dive of the front and rear arms using the standard pivot blocks, and the option parts allow you to adjust the sweep and toe angles. You'll also be able to easily change the roll center front and rear with the racing-style vertical ballstud mounting on both the inner and outer camber link mounts. Multiple shock mounting positions provide a full range of shock suspension angle adjustment to suit different road conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll new radio gear:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW 4th Channel - 100 position digital slider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW Steering Exponential\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop-down steering position for a natural control position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoam-covered wheel for extra comfort and grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeftie friendly!
