Getting Down to Business
This is a premium version of the Sunny-Shuttle, a model which first appeared in the Truckin’ Mini 4WD Series back in 1990. The lowered-down truck body is molded in a striking yellow, with cool smoke-colored tinted windows plus marking stickers to top off the design. It is based on the modern AR chassis, which includes screw-attached side catch mounts to enable the attachment of the Sunny-Shuttle body. Motor and batteries can be attached and detached without removing the body from the chassis. Different-width front and rear small diameter wheels have wire-type spokes finished in gold and are mounted on slick tires.
AR Chassis
The AR chassis is designed to offer its driver durability, customizability and ease of maintenance, all of which are key ingredients for a successful Mini 4WD racer. Its aerodynamic form smoothly allows air to pass through the chassis interior as the machine runs, performing the vital function of cooling the batteries and motor and extending their effectiveness. The air intakes on the chassis and body are integrated for optimal performance. This high-speed racing chassis also features low-friction plastic bearings to ensure that any loss of power from the engine to the wheels is minimal in nature. Under panel and diffuser can be removed from the model without taking off the body, while a low-friction rear skid bar is fitted to slash time loss experienced on tricky slope sections, and keep the car on the track where it belongs. Features a 4.2:1 gear ratio.
