Chassis

ISHIMA racing’s design team choose for the RAVE M1.0S a smooth countersunk CNC-machined T6 grade aluminium chassis, instead of the mould stamped alloy chassis found on almost all RTR cars on the market.

The advantages of a CNC-machined chassis are

• Higher precision and better tolerances
• The aluminium is not been exposed to extreme stress on the material during production (pressure during stamping of the plates)
• Nice and clean machined edges (no rough borders)
   

Suspension Arms

The suspension arms are one of the most important parts on a model racing car and are exposed to extreme impacts during racing.
It was a big challenge for the ISHIMA racing engineering department to create lightweight but torsionfree suspension arms that can withstand the highest impacts during the long finals of a race and still provide the driver with a responsive feel. After a long period of testing, a special polymer mixture is been made to guarantee rigidity, reliability and performance.
 

Aluminium plates

All aluminium plates fitted on the RAVE M1.0S are CNC-machined in T6 grade aluminium. Non of the aluminium plates are mould stamped alloy as found on almost all RTR cars on the market.

The advantages of CNC-machined aluminium plates

• Higher precision and better tolerances
• The aluminium is not been exposed to extreme stress on the material during production (pressure during stamping of the plates)
• Nice and clean machined edges (no rough borders)

The RAVE M1.0S features:

• Alu T6 CNC-machined 3.5mm thick countersunk chassis
• Alu T6 CNC-machined 4mm thick front shock tower
• Alu T6 CNC-machined 4mm thick rear shock tower
• Alu T6 CNC-machined 3mm front suspension arm holder
• Alu T6 CNC-machined 3mm rear suspension arm holder
• Alu T6 CNC-machined 3mm servo saver plate
• Alu T6 CNC-machined 3mm center differential plate
• Alu T6 CNC-machined 3mm radio plate
   

Fully ballraced

The RAVE M1.0S is factory fitted with 26 high quality rubber sealed precision ball bearings.

ISHIMA racing’s design team refused to use the cheaper plastic or bronse bushings mostly found on the cheaper RTR cars, even on non critical moving parts.
 

Servo Saver

• Adjustable servo saver spring hardness
• Fully ballraced (4pcs rubber sealed precision ball bearings)
• CNC-machined T6 grade aluminium steering brace with multiple mounting points for different Ackerman
   

Clutch system

• 3-point racing clutch with 1.1mm Ø clutch springs
• CNC-machined T6 grade aluminium flywheel
• CNC-machined & hardened steel clutch bell
• Fully ballraced (2pcs rubber sealed precision ball bearings)
   

Differentials

When you talk “racing”, you talk “gears”. Spinning at more then 8000 RPM, ever changing speeds and increasing temperatures inside the differentials up to 80°C, the gears are a critical part in a racing buggy.

All gears in the RAVE M1.0S are made of a special metal mixture manufactured in high precision pressure casting moulds to guarantee strong, reliable and long lasting gears even under the toughest conditions.

The differential is fitted with 6 spider gears, the differentail casing is made of temperature resistant composite material. The differential outdrives are made of hardened steel.

The working of the differential can be adjusted by using silicon oil inside the differential ranging from 5000 CPS (soft) up to 100.000 (hard).
 

Center differential assembly

Easy to acces center differential assembly. only remove 4 screws and the complete differential assembly can be removed for cleaning or servicing.

The working of the differential can be adjusted by using silicon oil inside the differential ranging from 5000 CPS (soft) up to 100.000 (hard).

The center differential assembly is fitted with a separate front & rear brake system.

The ventilated steel brake disks in combination with the steel / Ferodo brake pads ensure optimal deceleration. Special brake discs alignment supports ensure a perfect guidance of the brake disks. The brake cams are ball raced for more precise control of the braking power.
 

Universal drive joints

The RAVE M1.0S is factory fitted with hardened steel Universal drive shafts on the front wheels for smooth power transfer and optimum durability.
 

Shock stays

The front & rear shock stays of a buggy are exposed to hard impacts as they take the first shocks after a bad landing. They need to be strong to guarantee a perfect functioning of the shock absorbers.

The RAVE M1.0S front & rear shock stays are CNC-machined  and made of 4mm thick T6 grade aluminium.
 

Shock absorbers

The shock absorbers need to operate smoothly to ensure a perfect damping, they have to be strong to absorb the constant impacts and they certainly may not leak oil. The ISHIMA shock absorbers are made of the finest aluminium and are machined with the highest precision to guarantee a perfect smooth functioning during the long main events.

The ISHIMA shocks features:

• Hardcoated in and outside surface treatment
• 1 piece aluminium shock cap
• CNC machined DELRIN shock piston (perfect roundness)
• Super soft silicon shock bladder
• 2 pcs first grade silicon O-rings
• Aluminium end-cap with rubber dust protection
• Hardened super smooth shock shafts
   

Hex hubs

17mm Hex hubs retained with pin and grub screw for maximum durability and easy maintenance.
 

Chassis stiffener

The RAVE M1.0S is fitted with a rear & front composite chassis stiffener.
 

Anti roll bars

The RAVE M1.0S includes front & rear anti-roll bars for controlled chassis roll.
 

Electronics assembly

The electronis assembly in 1 piece can be easely and quickly removed for servicing and cleaning. Only remove a few screws and the electronics assembly can be removed. The very easy to access radio box protects the receiver and battery from dust and dirt. The radio box is big enough to accept todays receivers as well Li-Po batterypacks or 4 or 5 cells Ni-xx batterypacks.
 

Fuel tank

125ml fuel tank with large quick fill system. The fuel tank is fitted with a internal fuel filter.
 

Aerodynamic wing

The aerodynamic wing is studied to give the right downforce at low as well high speeds. The wing is moulded from a very flexible composite mixture, all edges are reinforced to prevent cracking or shearing, making this wing almost unbreakable.

The wing support is specially designed and moulded from a very flexible composite mixture to be able to bend and flex after heavy shocks. The wing holder offer many different wing mounting positions. This enables to adjust the wing and the downforce to the different track situations.
 

The RAVE M1.0S has been designed with the racer in mind with simplified access to all parts for easier maintenance. For example only 5 screws have to be removed to access the fron & rear diff without dismantling the main chassis or suspension.
High quality hex screws are been used throughout the car to reduce the possibity of stripped screws.
 

The ISHIMA RAVE M1.0S RTR is factory fitted with a .25 size engine with a userfriendly pull start system.

The M.25 size ISHIMA engine is easy to start, easy to tune and provides plenty of power and torque.
