ESC: Viper
Motor: Muchmore 7.5T
Batteries: Protek RC
Radio/Servo: Sanwa/Xpert

Sitting 2nd after practice Lee Martin’s mid-motored Tamiya TRF 201XM is sporting a new chassis and gearbox, the longer aluminim chassis needed to mount the more compact gearbox which sees the motor more rearward and the shock tower more to the front. The result being more consistent traction. On top Lee is running the PL Phantom body which he helped develop along for Pro-Line which makes the car very stable but gives him enough steering when he needs it. On the rear he is using his all new LMR rear wing which is flatter than previous versions and sports a mini wing to help channel the air better, keeping the car planted in high speed corners. In terms of set-up the British ace is using a setup quite similar to what he uses at home, only adjusting the shocks to suit the different temperatures, running different oils.
