RDRP B64 Aluminium Steering Bellcrank set

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products is their new aluminium steering bellcrank set for the Team Associated B64 1/10th 4WD buggy. The set is a direct replacement for the standard composite parts, machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes blue or black anodised. Using the alloy steering bellcranks over the standard parts adds much needed precision to the steering system while also greatly improving overall durability. The increased overall rigidity will also help with steering emphasis, enhancing the steering feeling especially in high-bite track conditions.
