Technical Performance
The FMS 12441 CLEAR CAR BODY is engineered to pair perfectly with the FSC24 Chaser's advanced 1:24 short-course truck platform. The FSC24 Chaser features a specially developed new-generation chassis equipped with front independent suspension and a rear straight axle configuration, designed specifically to deliver authentic short-course truck handling characteristics. The frame is constructed from high-strength nylon, providing an ideal balance of lightness and durability for demanding off-road environments. The mid-mounted power unit features a low centre of gravity positioning that incorporates a 370 high-speed brushed motor paired with a two-speed transmission into a single compact power module, delivering exceptional acceleration and torque delivery across varied terrain. Metal planetary gear differentials at both axles ensure robust torque distribution for high-speed off-roading and exceptional cornering stability. The complete vehicle measures 236mm in length, 143mm in width, and 107mm in height with a 140mm wheelbase, providing the ideal proportions for a 1:24 scale short-course truck. Standard tyres measure 54mm diameter with 23mm width, whilst the vehicle achieves a minimum ground clearance of 33mm with an approach angle of 63 degrees and departure angle of 53 degrees, ensuring excellent obstacle-clearing capability. The system utilises a 2S LiPo 7.4V 900mAh battery with 25C discharge rating, offering approximately 30 minutes of operating duration during typical use. Two 13-gram metal servo units provide precise steering and throttle control across the 80-metre remote control distance provided by the G3 V3+ transmitter and R3B receiver with integrated ESC group control board.

If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
