Rêve D MC-II conversion set for GRK GSⅡ Evo

Rêve D release this new MC-II conversion set for GRK GSⅡ Evo made by Shibata. Their chief designer Hayato Matsuzaki and his RêveD super development team have put all their efforts into creating it. Their goal was to bring out extra performance from the GSII EVO, which already has a strong grip feeling with weight distribution closer to the rear. They have enhanced the inherent properties of the car to catch the road surface by enabling a more active suspension motion and have succeeded in creating a machine that is easy to transfer weight with improved handling. This conversion follows the regulation of the ‘GRK Strongest Championship’ scheduled to be held in 2022.

The Yokomo YZ-2CAL 2wd offroad buggy specialised for use on carpet and astro turf surfaces, has been upgraded to the 3.1 version.

The chassis has been lengthened, the wheelbase has been changed on the steering hub carrier, and the rigidity of the front and rear parts has been rebalanced to achieve a total balance that will lead to improved times. The suspension has also been upgraded to the latest configuration with 3mm shock shafts for a more responsive suspension, and is now fully prepared for the 2022 season.

Willspeed RF2 conversion platform for XB2

The new Willspeed RF2 conversion platform for the Xray XB2’20 & ’21 was designed and manufactured by engineers and racers alike for the true ultimate in performance on medium to high traction surfaces. The RF2 design focus’s on moving the weight bias forwards by utilising a 5 gear transmission that allows the motor position to be moved further forwards creating a smaller located area of main mass which aids to control weight transfer. The billet aluminium tub chassis is the ultimate in chassis design, the centre of gravity is super low, the chassis has no additional guards or stiffeners removing unwanted tweak and is self integrally stiff. The aluminium was selected for its natural dampening properties that not only allows for an incredibly agile platform but its also super predictable. The end result, a platform that not only loves corner speed but it is also dependable and predictable lap after lap making going fast, easy.
