STRC Ultima option parts

New from STRC for the Kyosho Ultima range of products, including the SC, SC-R, DB, RB5 & RT5, is this complete range of optional products. First up are these CNC Machined aluminium front braces, that will solve the front suspension brace problem on your Kyosho off-road vehicles. The stock brace is held in by the bumper and constantly moves around and can come loose if the front bumper bends or breaks. This front brace incorporates O-rings where the hinge-pins pass through, thus providing a snug fit on the hinge-pins and is less likely to come loose. Next up are aluminium bulkheads that carry the same adjustability of 25 or 30 deg. front kick-up as the stock plastic piece, but offers far superior durability.
