T.O.P Racing Sabre s4

After a successful racing season, the time has come to change from my beloved TOP Photon EX to the all new Sabre S4.



The new car is absolutely a piece of art, with the same high quality, and many new parts.
  • Chassis and upper deck are of new material with different flex characteristics and shock towers are thicker. Generally all carbon parts look better and the matt finish is really nice.
  • Suspension mounts are "in fashion", and look stronger with zero play.
  • Motor mount...Awesome! Old fashioned Tamiya style motor mount looks a lot stronger.
  • Bulkheads are also new, with built-in sway bar holders. Upper bulkheads have now four holes to adjust the roll center.
  • Aluminum floating servo mount is now standard.
  • Front spool is new, red, aluminum, elegant...
Other than the above, the rest of the car is the same as the EX. The result is an awesome car of high quality and perfect fit, that runs smoothly and seems to be really fast.
For the next two months I will be running it on carpet(10.5t), and from April till November on asphalt, participating in the Greek National Championship.

My building time was very limited, as I had to build it when I was on the track and so I could not make a full presentation at the moment.

Nevertheless, I managed to take some photos just before its first run. Although their quality is not the best, I hope you enjoy them:
