Sparko Releases F8SE Special Edition Power Pack With Adjustable Flex and Wheelbase
Sparko's new F8SE Special Edition Power Pack adds a hard-anodized 7075 chassis with tunable flex, a 2mm wheelbase option and dark blue alloy shock towers.
Sparko Racing has a big upgrade for F8SE owners. The new F8SE Special Edition Power Pack is a full aluminum package built around a new chassis. Sparko says it's aimed squarely at competitive 1/8 off-road racing.
The headline feature is an adjustable chassis flex system paired with a lightweight, hard-anodized 7075 aluminum chassis. The chassis also has a 2mm length adjustment, so you can run a short or long wheelbase. Short for tight, technical layouts, long for stability on big, fast tracks. Add the flex tuning and you can go stiffer for sharp steering on high grip, or softer for rough, low-grip tracks.
What's in the Power Pack (per Sparko):
- F84076: 7075 aluminum lightweight chassis for F8SE (hard anodized)
- F81043: Side guards (F8E)
- F84077 / F84078: 7075 aluminum front and rear shock towers (dark blue)
- F84080 / F84079: 7075 aluminum chassis length adjustment plate and insert
- F85079OP: 7075 aluminum chassis length adjustment plate (117mm)
- F84074: 7075 aluminum 2mm bi-directional arm mount C (dark blue)
- F84072: 7075 aluminum shock ball stud, 0 offset, front/rear (2pcs)
- F84073 / F84075: 7075 aluminum shock ball stud shims, 1mm and 2mm (2pcs each)
Sparko hasn't listed a price yet. Sparko has been building momentum in 1/8, and a package like this shows how serious they are about giving top drivers more setup options. Being able to fine-tune flex and wheelbase on the same car is something a lot of racers will want to try.
What do you think? Would you run the long or short wheelbase at your track? Let us know on the podcast!
