RDRP RB6 aluminium steering rack set

Revolution Design Racing Products introduce the aluminium steering rack set for Kyosho’s RB6 buggy. Designed to replace the kit’s plastic steering bellcranks and rack with a more rigid and more precise solution, the set includes CNC-machined and black anodised aircraft-quality 7075-T6 aluminium parts for maximized durability. The higher strength of the steering assembly also improves steering precision on high-grip surfaces for a more agile and predictable handling. Included in the set are two bellcranks and the steering rack with the parts also fitting the recently released RT6 truck.

RDRP RB6 aluminium mid motor wing mount

Revolution Design Racing Products announce the soon release of the aluminium wing mount set for mid motor converted Kyosho RB6 buggies. Machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised the wing mount is not only a lot more durable than the kit parts but also makes for a more solid base especially for larger or heavier wings, meaning improved aerodynamic efficiency. It is a direct fit on the stock plastic shock tower and also perfectly matches with RDRP’s soon-to-be-released carbon fibre rear shock tower set. As usual the parts sport a stealthy black colour and laser-etched logos for a cool factory look.
