Description
Diospada was piloted by Italian driver Carlo in "Let's & Go!! WGP." Its bodywork takes cues from Italian sports car design, with deeply curved fenders and an arched rear wing carrying triple slits across the connected rear fenders, finished in Italian Red and detailed with metallic stickers. White 5-spoke wheels are paired with black low-profile tires.
The model sits on the AR chassis, a monocoque-based, aerodynamically efficient platform molded here in metallic grey ABS with a grey underpanel and diffuser. Air drawn through the chassis interior helps cool the battery and motor, low-friction bearings limit drivetrain losses, and a rear skid bar assists on slope sections. Gear ratio is 3.5:1.
