[18099] Ray Spear by PDC Designworks (VZ Chassis)

[A Spear's Strike That Dominates the Race]

This is a plastic assembly model kit of a high-performance shaft-driven four-wheel drive racer.

The Ray Spear was designed by Takayuki Yamazaki, a hyper designer known for his work on the Decross series and Dual Ridge Jr.

The clear green body features a sharp, aggressive spear design, synchronized with a lightweight, compact, and low-center-of-gravity form designed for racing.

The detachable canopy allows for the cockpit to be displayed open or closed.

The interior of the canopy has a mechanical feel reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit.

The lightweight and compact VZ chassis matches the body's characteristics perfectly.

The dark silver wheels complete the impression with super-hard, small-diameter, low-profile tires that reduce bounce when landing after jumps and provide excellent cornering performance, adding even more stability to the ride.

This car is sure to catch your eye, thanks to the chemistry created by its battle-tested body, VZ chassis, and high-performance tires.

[VZ chassis with a focus on strength and expandability]

The VZ chassis further refines the performance of the popular VS chassis, which is small, lightweight, and has a short wheelbase, and is also used in races.

While retaining the excellent features of the VS chassis, such as maneuverability and ease of maintenance, the strength of the bumper, rear stay base, propeller shaft bearing, and other components has been increased.

Another key feature is the appropriate amount of flex to absorb impacts.

In addition to the rear roller stays, the front bumper can also be separated, greatly increasing the degree of freedom in setting options.

The shaft bearings use 620 plastic bearings made from POM resin, which has low friction resistance.

Both the chassis itself and A parts such as the gear cover are made from ABS resin.

The gear ratio is set to 3.5:1.
