Schelle RB6 ball-raced steering rack & chassis wrap

Schelle RB6 ball-raced steering rack & chassis protector

Schelle Racing Innoovations introduce two hop-ups for Kyosho’s 2WD Ultima series vehicles. First up is a ball-raced steering rack for the RB6, RT6 and SC6. The ball bearing construction eliminates slop from the pivot bushings while the design allows for additional Ackermann adjustment fore-aft as well as a wide steering pivot option. Widening out the inner bellcrank pivots shortens the steering link rod to better match the camber gain in the suspension and in testing Schelle found that the wide pivot setting produces a more predictable steering feel as the chassis leans in the turns. The second new part is a pre-cut chassis protection decal for the RB6. The sticker is made by UpgradeRC, sports the Schelle logos and it protects the chassis bottom from becoming excessively scratched on abrasive surfaces.
