Wrench To Drive RC Car Resource

No, there isn't a new Kyosho product out there that you missed.  The Kyosho Fazer: Rally Edition is something I made up.  Two things prompted this mod, the rock damage to the body from driving my Kyosho Fazer Dodge Charger in gravel and the bouncy nature of 60mm tire touring cars in rocky conditions.  Both of those things made me want to put the Kyosho Charger on the shelf for it's own safety, but I hate Shelf Queens, I drive my cars.  That got me thinking about mods.  Bigger tires and a beater body shell are the obvious mods.  I ended up doing a little bit more.

Of Note: There are two lengths on this cage, so pay attention to the parts you're printing.  Double check your measurements if you're printing this for something other than an SCX10 clone or RedCat Gen 8 because those are the two that I have actually mea...
