Azarashi Redseal ZX-5 conversion kit

Following the Grayseal conversion kit for the Team Associated B44 buggy Azarashi now also have a respective kit for Kyosho’s ZX-5 SP2 buggy available. The set is developed around a new upper and lower carbon fibre chassis that makes use of a 2S shorty-type LiPo battery pack over the conventional 2S saddle packs for a lighter and better handling buggy. The longer 293mm wheelbase helps to calm down the vehicle without scrubbing corner speed or agility. The motor and speed controller are now located on the right side of the chassis opposite of the battery pack. Lighter components such as the steering servo and the receiver found a new home in the front of the buggy. Include in the set are the upper and lower chassis parts made from carbon fibre, a carbon battery strap, new servo mounts, longer centre driveshafts and hardware.
