The Active Hobby FR conversion kit is expected to be released in April of 2012. Following the announcement of the new FR conversion kit, a full line-up of option parts has also been listed. The FR chassis option parts will include parts support for both Street Jam OTA-R31 and Tamiya Reversible suspension systems; depending on chosen suspension system, several parts are different for each system. The line-up of option parts include active’s new linked rear suspension system, front one-way unit, rear aluminium gear differential unit, and cooling mounts for the front motor. There are also several new parts in production which include aluminium rear bulkhead set, solid alum rear axle, front stabilizer set and countersteer CS unit. This chassis shows a lot of promise and will no doubt be a contender in the front motor RC Drift movement.
