Rudebits are proud to introduce the DB1 Kyosho 2WD buggy conversion kit. Designed by David Burton, an experienced engineer and former BRCA nationals winner, the kit combined the front end of Kyosho’s Ultima series buggies with the rear end of the Lazer ZX-5 line of cars. The result is a low centre of gravity buggy with front motor and rearward placed saddle packs, driven by an inertia propshaft to overcome the disadvantages often associated with an inline motor placement. The kit includes seven carbon fibre parts such as the 2.6mm chassis, top deck, U-shaped support, LiPo battery braces and LiPo retaining straps. Also included is 20g a brass LiPo centre weight, under LiPo weights, alloy battery posts, weighted inertia propshaft, Shadow body shell, front alloy posts, decal sheet and setup sheet. Not included are the front and rear end of the Ultima and Lazer, motor mount etc. The buggy that required a low-profile servo is available for pre-order now.

Chinese manufacturer Tianhao, better known for their FGX Rabbit chassis, have introduced their all new UFO 540 type brushless motors. Not your standard configuration, the UFO motor sees the sensor and timing plate placed at the shaft end of the motor with a vented end bell at the rear end, which in a touring car sits in an area of high airflow. This new layout not only brings the wires into a more convenient spot but more importantly allows the heat built up in the can to escape unobstructed, making a more efficient motor. The motors are available in both anodized black or blue and Tianhao have a full range of winds as well as a range of 550 motors for short course.
