The part is machined from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminium and it is of an updated design that allows to attach 7075’s new 30g WT rear chassis weight for improved driveablilty in various track conditions. The chassis has also been optimised for the use with the latest TKI4 suspension arm version and it sports an enlarged motor pocket to allow a wider range of engines to be fitted. The hard-anodised surface ensures less wear in abrasive track conditions and the chassis is available now.
Coming from Yeah Racing are new option parts for the Tamiya TA-02 and Yokomo YD-2S on-road kits. First up is a carbon fibre upgrade set for the Tamiya TA-02 and TA-02SW 1/10th 4WD on-road kits that includes a lower carbon fibre chassis plate, a matching upper deck as well as front and rear shock towers. The conversion will lead to a lighter and stronger chassis assembly while adding visual impact at the same time.
Kyosho have introduced theRB6 buggy’s front upper bulkhead and upper plate in a new carbon-reinforced composite material. The parts will flex less than the standard items, for a more linear and precise steering feeling on various surfaces, with the effect fully unfolding on high to very high bite tracks. The parts are available separately and they are usable for the latest RB6.6 buggy as well as the older spec RB6, the RT6 stadium truck and SC6 short course truck.
RPM have introduced a rear bumper kit for the electric variants of Traxxas’ Rustler 2WD monster truck. The bumper is designed to protect the rear of the chassis, the motor and the body, all while still allowing the use of a stock Traxxas wheelie bar. Additionally, if owners decide to run without the wheelie bar, the bumper is so versatile, it’ll adapt and allow either configuration. The part is designed tough, with serious impact absorption characteristics built in. With the use of the optional RPM Rear Bumper Mount, the protection for the motor becomes nearly indestructible. The bumper is made of engineering grade nylons and comes in black or blue colour.
