Exotek RB7 aluminium rear laydown bulkhead

Coming from Exotek is an aluminium heavy-duty 1-piece rear camber mount and bulkhead for the Kyosho Ultima RB7 and RB6 series laydown midship gear box. The part is of a machined 7075 alloy construction meaning is allows for repeated secure mounting and ensures no stripped nylon threads that change camber after big hits. Its appearance in anodised black with red contrasting chamfers makes for added visual impact and the part matches the stock geometry while sporting mounting points for the RB7 sway bars. At 10g the bulkhead is also 1.5g lighter than the stock nylon bulkhead.
