Coming from Kyosho and made for the Ultima 2WD vintage re-release buggy is a front and rear anti-roll bar set. The kit includes front and rear swaybars as well as all needed mounting hardware, making the set a direct fit. Using the anti-roll bars will reduce overall chassis roll when running on high-bite surfaces, improving overall stability and making for a more planted ride especially when using grippier tyres.
