Super-II Chassis
The Super-II Chassis (スーパーIIシャーシ) is a Mini 4WD chassis released by Tamiya in 2010, with the release of Magnum Saber Premium. The chassis is the further improvement version of the Super-1 Chassis.
General info
The main chassis parts, especially the front bumper, has been reinforced. The front bumper has also extended and added few screw holes for the use of grade-up parts. The battery switch has been changed from slide-type to rotate-type, and the battery clip's design also changed to the much more rigid one. There's also the newer hard-points for rear stay parts, as seen in Super X Chassis and later chassis.
Some kits comes with the Side-Guard EX attachment.
Performance-wise, it behaves similar to that of VS Chassis, except that Super-II Chassis has greater expandability than VS Chassis.
