About The Prodigy F1
Chassis & Rear Axle
The main chassis features an aluminum battery tray, 7075-T6 aluminum front plate, heat-treated steel rear flex and pivot plates, and premium carbon fiber components, ensuring unmatched rigidity and weight optimization. This combination of materials provides a perfect balance of strength, durability, and lightweight performance for maximum control on the track. The rear axle tube is precision-machined from a single piece of aluminum, ensuring perfect bearing alignment and featuring an alignment mark for accurate rear track width measurements. The lightweight titanium rear axle includes a knurled end, securely pressing the right-side hub onto the axle for a durable bond.
Rear Suspension
The rear suspension system introduces an innovative multi-axis design with four adjustable pivots, allowing precise tuning of the roll center and roll axis independently of bump characteristics. Optional flex pivots and O-rings enable quick adjustments to enhance rough handling and boost forward traction. Integrated with a rotary damper rod seated in the battery tray, the system supports fine-tuning for various track conditions. Paired with 2.8-pound rear springs, this advanced setup delivers unparalleled control and adaptability.
Front Suspension
The front suspension utilizes a Pro Kingpin design with 5° heat-treated steel kingpins featuring an electroplate coating for durability. Internal grease grooves in the low-friction steering block bushings provide consistent damping, while the front carbon plate includes a 3-bolt keyed mounting system for secure, precise alignment. Standard front setup includes -3.0° steering blocks, 5.0-pound front springs, and a rigid carbon front plate to minimize flex. Pro Kingpin Adjusters allow quick preload tuning, while the custom servo saver with aluminum crank enables a compact, low-profile servo mount, optimizing weight distribution and control. This setup delivers superior responsiveness and reliability.

Buy something else unles your are a absolute perfect driver that never messes up. Ive never seen a less durable car. Side dampers won't stay in even when properly setup if you so as much barly touch anything they come out, the stock chassis plate bends so easy that when I put the steel plate in to replace it I gave it to my 5year old and they bent it by hand, the front knuckles also are some kind of low grade aluminum that same as the side pods you crash once and they bend, ive had to replace 6 sice I got this car this spring(6ish months) of them because they bend so easy. Any option parts are basicaly a must to attempt to fix this pile of a car. If you want to get rid of the spool you have to cobble together one from other brands. I've spent more time and money trying to keep this car on the track that I could have just replace the car with my old F103 that was bulletproof. Tldr: buy something else unles your perfect.
It's fast and has so much steering and is a joy to tune, drive and build. It does fall apart pretty quickly after a crash tho.
