Kyosho have announced the soon release of two new option parts for the Ultima RB7 2WD buggy. First up is a front anti-roll bar set that includes three swaybar wires and mounting hardware. The colour-coded swaybars help to fine-tune the front end for various grip conditions but are best suited on higher grip tracks where a front anti-roll bar can lead to higher corner speeds and an easier to drive car.
Coming for Kyosho’s new Lazer ZX7 1/10th scale 4WD buggy is a lightweight body shell. Moulded to match the kit’s standard body the 0.6mm thin variant is a lot lighter for a lower overall weight and a lower overall centre of gravity. Using the body comes in handy in stock racing classes and when running in high-bite track conditions where the lower CG can lead to faster and more consistent cornering. Included with the body come pre-cut window masks.
