RDRP B64 aluminium steering rack Type B

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new aluminium steering rack Type B for the Team Associated B64 1/10th 4WD buggy. It is a direct replacement for the brittle standard composite part, machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes blue or black anodised. The increased overall rigidity will also help with steering emphasis, enhancing the steering feeling especially in high-bite track conditions. Compared to the standard AE or RDRP part, the optional Type B rack will make for improved steering feeling over the whole steering range without adding extra steering. RDRP’s team drivers comment: “The main feeling was that the steering has more feel. [And] half steering feels more like half steering”. The rack can be used with the standard or RDRP’s optional #0401 aluminium steering bellcrank set.
