JConcepts Kyosho RB6 Finnisher body

JConcepts have released a Finnisher body for the new Kyosho RB6. Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps. Forward cab placement changes performance / visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners. The side-pods have been simplified and JC chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralize the at-speed handling. The chassis to body fit has been tightened up which eliminates empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The rear of the cab has a new step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also a louver which can be trimmed to allow air to escape at the top of the body. In addition to the newly designed body, JConcepts has included 2 of the latest 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance rear wings.

Xray RX8 suspension arm graphite extensions

For the RX8, Xray have introduced this pair of suspension arm graphite extensions for both the front and rear lower arms. The front lower suspension arm graphite extension features a lower and wider shock hole (compared to original) providing better stability and softer damping. This gives less initial steering, improves cornering speed and give less traction roll under high-grip conditions. The rear lower suspension arm graphite extension places the shock mount between the two holes of the standard graphite extension. This increases stability and improves cornering speed compared to the inner position, but provides more traction compared to the outer position.
