RC Street Racing Car V2

“Less is more” -Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe

Our concept for V2 of the RC Street Racing Car was to design a no-compromise, high-performance RC car while maintaining the elegance of simplicity. After the initial success of the popular
V1 RC Street Racing Car, we decided to take a critical look at what key features worked and what could use improving. After combining nearly 6 months of development with your community feedback, we are finally proud to present version 2 of the RC Street Racing Car. Here are some of the key improvements we've made over the first version:

1) up to 3.5x improved battery life with a new 18650 cell-based battery system
2) modular battery system allows quick swapping of batteries
3) new design eliminates unnecessary hardware while maintaining structural integrity.
4) completely redesigned motor mount and other 3D printed parts to remove unnecessary complexity and maximize strength
5) wheels each have an integrated suspension
6) new and improved tire options for all-terrain
7) increased tire thickness for improved traction, higher ground clearance, and a smoother ride
8) modular tires easily snap on and off of rims allowing you to tune your car for any conditions. Modular tires also remove the need for dual extrusion
9) improved wire management and component placement
10) improved low throttle control (lower KV motor and a slightly larger drive gear)
11) removable electronics hatch (cover) helps keep dust out and your electronics in.
12) an easily accessible power switch gets you up and running in no time
13) now can drive upside down as well
