RDRP RB6 front and rear shock towers

New from Revolution Design come front and rear carbon fibre shock towers for the Kyosho RB6 buggy. The front shock tower is CNC-machined from 4mm high-quality carbon fibre and a direct replacement for the stock part, mimicking the original shock geometry allowing to use it as drop fit solution. Beside being of a lightweight design the part also add a cool technical look to Kyosho’s World Championship winning buggy. The rear shock tower is specially designed for the use with mid motor converted cars and it comes as set including a precision machined aluminium adapter plate to resemble the original part thickness in the rear bulkhead and wing mount area. Just like the front damper stay the rear shock tower is modelled after the kit’s suspension geometry and made to create a stiffer and more precise base for the shocks. Both the front and rear shock tower are sold separately and they are available now.

Clean sweep for Maifield in A1 at JConcepts Finals

Team Associated’s Ryan Maifield completed a clean sweep in the opening round of Mains at the JConcepts Indoor National Series Finals, winning A1 in all three classes he is contesting at the Omaha, Nebraska event. First up for the Arizona ace was 4WD Buggy in which the Top Qualifier took the win over TLR’s JR Mitch, but only after his team-mate made a mistake on lap 8 rolling at the end of the straight and braking a front arm. There was little time to think about the win as up immediately after was the one class for which the overall title is still to be decided 2WD Short Course. Again starting from the pole, Maifield lead this entertaining encounter from start to finish seeing off very close attention from title rivals Harston and TLR’s Dustin Evans. Evans, who didn’t start the 4WD Main after stripping a spur gear in the warm-up, would finish second with Hartson claiming third from 5th on the gird.
