About this product
Rookie Speed, a popular entry-level speed machine, has evolved to become even more affordable! The new RS2.0 is now available. The new RS2.0 is a touring car that is even easier to start and easier to drive. The main chassis and upper deck are made of resin for a supple, ground feel. The front and rear belts are of equal length, so there is little variation in behavior in response to throttle operation, and straightforward cornering is a major feature. In addition, the motor mount has been completely redesigned for the RS2.0 so that a brush motor can be mounted without modification. The RS2.0 is now more adaptable to different power sources, making it even easier to handle.
A major point that enhances driving performance is the new short shocks on the front and rear. The overall length has been shortened by approximately 10mm, and the shock towers have been lowered to achieve a lower center of gravity. The springs can also be used with the current competition touring car springs, which greatly expands the range of settings.
