Factory RC YZ-4 SF carbon fibre option parts

Factory RC have announced the release of new carbon fibre option parts for the Yokomo YZ-4 SF buggy in the form of front and rear shock towers as well as a LiPo battery strap. The shock towers are both cut from high-quality 4mm black carbon fibre and the front shock stay comes milled out to reduce weight and increase airflow onto the front of the body for additional down force while the rear variant is marked for easy identification. As for the battery strap, the part sports an opening to allow in-car charging while using the balance port of the battery so there is no longer need to remove the back or strap to charge in the car. The brace uses standard hardware and is compatible with both standard height or low profile shorty packs. All parts are equipped with Factory RC’s ”Leading Edge” chamfered edge for cool looks and greater durability.
