Hi Guys
Could someone please tell the difference between non RTS (HQ-HX) and RTS cars (HZ-WB) is it just the steering setup or is it the whole chassis?

It's a whole number of things, including the chassis I'm afraid. The location of the front shocks give the RTS away, the shockie comes through right in the centre of the wishbone mounts, whereas in non RTS the shockie pokes through towards the rear of th
