[18104] Cross Spear 02 by PDC Designworks (VZ Chassis)

[The refined running starts from the unique form]

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

The Cross Spear 02 is a sibling machine of the Cross Spear 01, which debuted in May 2024.

The body with a low height and forward cockpit with a low vehicle height and cockpit moved forward was designed by hyper designer Takayuki Yamazaki.

In addition, the truss structure on both sides of the cockpit, which inherited the concept of the 01, is also a point.

In addition to the compactness and weight reduction of the body itself, it creates a complex and unique style.

The chassis is lightweight and compact, and the VZ demonstrates high combat power even in races.

The red Y-spoke wheels are equipped with super hard small-diameter low-height tires as standard, which are less likely to lose their posture when landing after a jump and demonstrate high cornering performance.

This is a noteworthy machine with plenty of elements for practical use.

[VZ chassis with strength and expandability]

The VZ chassis is a refined version 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, etc. has been increased.

Another key point is the moderate "flexibility" that absorbs shocks.

In addition to the rear roller stays, the front bumper can also be separated.

The freedom of setting has also been greatly improved.

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

The chassis body and A parts such as the gear cover are made of ABS resin.

The gear ratio is a super-fast type of 3.5:1.
