What is Kamtec 1/12 GT Series by Frosty Models?

The Kamtec GT Series is our very own brand. With the aim to allow racers to compete with a chassis for under £200 on a brushed or brushless setup (Brushless version is higher cost). They feature cross usable parts from all Mini, Supastox & Nascar to allow racers easy access and adaptability on one chassis.

They are a 1/12th Scale RWD Pan Car, with Solid rear axle (Optional Diff allowed, and adaptors with different wheel types) Very simular to the Atom GT12 series, but half the price.
