Kyosho RB6 option parts

Kyosho soon have new option parts for the World Championship winning RB6 buggy available. First up is a lightweight chassis plate, made from 7075-T6 aluminium. Coming hard anodised the chassis also sports additional milled out sections for a lower weight compared to the standard kit chassis. Also new is the Blade lightweight body made from 0.6mm polycarbonate. Being of a lighter weight, using the body makes for a lower centre of gravity and a reduced all-up weight. Last but not least is a brass weight set for the rear bulkhead of mid motor converted cars. Included are a total of three weights as well as mounting hardware for a drop-in fit.

Yaiba Racing RB6 mid motor rear bulkhead Ver.2

Yaiba Racing introduce the Ver.2 rear bulkhead assembly for the Kyosho RB6. Designed to fit the mid motor variant of Kyosho’s World Championship winning buggy, the new bulkhead is of a 2-piece design with a red anodised camber link plate and a black anti-roll bar and shock tower mount. The design allows the direct use of Kyosho’s anti-rollbar set while the separate camber link plate makes for easier setup and maintenance. Weighing in at around 19g the bulkhead mimics the kit’s suspension geometry for a drop fit without the need to adjust existing setups.

RDRP RB6 front and rear shock towers

New from Revolution Design come front and rear carbon fibre shock towers for the Kyosho RB6 buggy. The front shock tower is CNC-machined from 4mm high-quality carbon fibre and a direct replacement for the stock part, mimicking the original shock geometry allowing to use it as drop fit solution. Beside being of a lightweight design the part also add a cool technical look to Kyosho’s World Championship winning buggy. The rear shock tower is specially designed for the use with mid motor converted cars and it comes as set including a precision machined aluminium adapter plate to resemble the original part thickness in the rear bulkhead and wing mount area. Just like the front damper stay the rear shock tower is modelled after the kit’s suspension geometry and made to create a stiffer and more precise base for the shocks. Both the front and rear shock tower are sold separately and they are available now.
