Available now are a carbon fibre reinforced C-hub set, a front steering knuckle and rear hub set as well as a suspension arm set made from the same material. The parts are a direct replacement for the stock items and come in handy when running on high-bite tracks or in hot ambient temperatures as they tend to flex less resulting in a more precise feeling of the car.

RDRP RB6 aluminium rear suspension mount set

RDRP RB6 aluminium rear suspension mount set-1

The RDRP RB6 Suspension Mount MM-RM2 Set allows to change the rear toe-in setting of the Kyosho RB6 buggy, RT6 stadium truck and SC6 short course truck within seconds. Included in the set are CNC-machined and black anodised 7075-T6 aluminium suspension mounts, designed to replace the stock plastic mounts with more durable and highly adjustable parts. The front RF2 mount mimics the stock geometry while the rear RR2 mount, included for both mid and rear motor vehicles, makes use of delrin inserts which, depending on the orientation, make for 2 degree, 3 degree or 4 degree toe-in settings to adjust the overall traction and side bite available from the vehicle’s rear end.

Exotek XB4 aluminium steering crank set

New from Exotek and made for the XB4 line of buggies is this steering bellcrank set. The set alters the steering link angle so that it matches the servo horn angle for equal left to right steering throw. The cranks also eliminate the servo saver assembly for exact steering input and straighter buggy tracking lap after lap. The crank set is available in orange or black colour and actually 0.8 gram lighter than the stock crank set as well so it will not alter the buggy’s weight bias.
