Avid introduce the Triad 17mm lightweight wheel nuts for 1/8th off-road and GT vehicles.

RDRP RB6 aluminium front suspension block

Revolution Design Racing Products introduce the aluminium front suspension block for all Kyosho RB6 based vehicles. Design to replace the kit’s plastic bulkhead with a more durable and more precise part, the block is machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes black anodised for a stealthy look. Just like the original plastic part, the alloy block allows to adjust the front wishbone kick-up to 25 degree or 30 degree in order to alter the car’s front end grip. On top of that the alloy material greatly improve the robustness of the front end while the precise manufacturing adds to the overall appearance.
