Kyosho Large & Medium pit bags

Kyosho’s new pit bags are available in both medium for 1/10th scale size cars like the V One RRR and FW06, while the large pit bag is made for larger scale vehicles like the 1/8th Evolva Evo M3 and off road buggies like the Inferno MP9. Each bag has 3 separate compartments and each compartment slides into its own heavy duty sleeve which is riveted for extra strength. The compartments and sleeves are made from an industrial strength plastic that will hold up to any abuse you can dish out.

Team AJ RB5 & RT5 front suspension parts

New for the Kyosho Ultima RB5 and RT5, comes these front lower bulkheads and hinge pin plates from Team AJ. The lower front bulkheads have been machined from aluminium and significantly increase the strength in this area of the car. The block can be flipped around so that the user can select between 25 and 30 degrees caster, with markings clearly displaying which is currently being used. The new 0.5mm thick aluminium hinge pin plates again offer strength to the front area by preventing the suspension pins from spreading under impact. Both items are available in anodised, red, black and blue.
