Plan B Racing: Mach 1 sprint car builder kit

Plan B Racing is a is a trendsetting Online Racing Car Parts Store that is making innovative products. The Mach 1 is quite a unique RC model: it’s a new sprint car platform that is not just a “buggy conversion” kit but a more purpose built platform. With the buggy based platform designers had to make certain compromises in order to utilize parts from the current crop of donor buggies, which limited the potential of the model.

It will come only as a “builder kit” that will include a list of recommended parts to complete (it’s possibile to choose the carbon fiber chassis or the 7075-T6 aluminum chassis and pricing starts at $400).

Many of the features speak for themselves, with the most notable features being on the front of the car. Machined aluminum adjustable caster blocks, kick up blocks, camber mounts,replaceable droop pads, bellcrank mount, and bellcrank steering assembly. Machined delrin front arms, and front spindles.

The rear of the car has been optimized for better grip and stability with new geometry. The rear includes machined aluminum rear hubs, “c” and “d” blocks, and rear bulkhead. Machined delrin rear adjustable arms, and a new modular transmission mounting system. This will allow the mounting of multiple trans configurations on the same chassis.
