Useful takeaways from this story.

Updates include multiple chassis offsets, standup and laydown transmission parts, mid or front steering servo options, and a new battery locator system.

Prototype scored wins at Motorama Northeast Nationals and Trackside Duals before final production.

Kit ships with CW MDX big-bore shocks on all four corners and includes new CRD cage, header, body, and V2 suspension components.

# What this kit is

# Why the updates matter Oval dirt conditions vary. The V2 adds mechanical and layout options so drivers can change chassis balance and drivetrain geometry without buying extra parts. That gives teams more setup flexibility at the track and can reduce the time spent swapping parts between race mains.

# What's included and new The V2 kit bundles multiple option parts rather than forcing aftermarket purchases. Notable items listed by Custom Works:

  • Multiple chassis offset options built in
  • Standup and laydown transmission parts
  • Mid or front steering servo parts
  • New CRD cage, header, and body parts
  • V2 camber link mount
  • All-new V2 battery locator system
  • V2 top shaft and spur hub
  • 3mm variable offset carbon rear tower
  • CW MDX big-bore shocks on all four corners

Custom Works also notes the kit contains the parts and adjustments needed to compete on both high-bite and loose dirt surfaces.

# Race-proven background Custom Works tested and refined the Beast 2 prototype through competition. The prototype picked up wins at the Motorama Northeast Nationals and the Trackside Duals. The company used that on-track feedback over the summer to finalize the production kit.

# Availability and where to buy

# Practical takeaways for buyers If you race 1/10 midget oval classes and need a platform that can be adjusted for both tacky and loose dirt, the Beast 2 V2 provides a wide set of built-in options. The inclusion of both transmission layouts, servo placement options, and a variable-offset rear tower reduces aftermarket shopping and supports quicker setup changes at the track. The MDX big-bore shocks on all four corners indicate the kit is supplied with performance-oriented damping hardware out of the box.

# Source and author details The item was announced via a Custom Works press release and reported by Tyler Hooks on LiveRC. The LiveRC post links to Custom Works for additional specifications, the manual, and setup sheets.
