Machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised and with machined silver edge details the brace utilises delrin bushings for the rear bulkhead attachment point that ensures less stress for both the bulkhead and brace, prolonging the life of all parts involved.

Kyosho have introduced their new Mini-Z transportation bag that is large enough to carry a Mini-Z ReadySet including tools and spares. The zipped bag is made of tough fabric with inner reinforcements ensuring the transmitter, car, tools, spares and even a small charger can be safely stored or carried. An adjustable separator allows to adjust the main compartment to various transmitter and car sizes while a mesh pocket in the lid hold spares, tyres and more. A separator, equipped with elastic belts, holds tools, pliers and batteries. While being intended for Mini-Z cars the bag is also ideal as a general tool bag or to store and transport electronic equipment, motors, spares and many more.
Coming from Kyosho and made for the recently introduced RB7SS stock spec buggy are several drivetrain optionals. First up is a 65.5mm steel driveshaft set that replaces the standard alloy items when planning to run modified motors. The parts offer increased durability and they come including wheel axles and couplers.
Kyosho’s own Yuichi Kanai has teased a forthcoming new option part for the Inferno MP10 buggy on social media. Coming soon is a pair of long, lightweight aluminium shock standoffs for the rear end of the buggy. The idea of running the shocks leaned back is to having an easier to drive car in bumpy sections while adding traction when leaving corners due to smoother suspension movement. The shock bushings are made of high-quality aluminium and they include the needed longer upper shock mounting screws.
Available now from T-Works is an aluminium rear hub set for the Kyosho Inferno MP10 buggy. The set includes machined 7075-T6 aluminium rear hubs as well as delrin ball bearing inserts, machined aluminium wheelbase spacers as well as brass A and B bushings that help to add unsprung masses if needed. The latter comes in handy especially on lower grip surfaces were adding weight to the suspension can lead to increased traction. The alloy parts come black anodised for wear and looks and the set is rounded out by gold-colour hardware.
