Kyosho Ultima RB6.6 ReadySet 2WD buggy

Kyosho’s Ultima RB6.6 1/10th 2WD electric buggy is soon also available as factory-assembled ReadySet ready-to-run kit. While the kit version of the RB 6.6 features four transmission setups, the Readyset version includes the 4-gear midship transmission with its more controllable feeling. As the basic configuration of the chassis and components are the same as in the kit version, the same wide setting options allow the chassis to be competitive on the race track straight out of the box. The all-important power train is equipped with a G15 15T brushed motor for controllable speed and exceptional drivability. The ReadySet includes nearly all items needed, except for batteries for buggy and transmitter. The set is rounded out though by a Syncro KT231+ 2.4GHz radio system and a powerful steering servo.

Tekno SCT/SL low frequency springs

Tekno have introduced a complete line of Low Frequency springs for the SCT410.3 and EB48SL vehicles. The new design improves traction by reducing chassis oscillation on rough track surfaces and large jump landings. Better stability of the vehicle is achieved, providing more forward grip, increased corner speed and quicker lap times. The spring length has been reduced by 13mm in front and 15mm in the rear to allow for lower ride height adjustments which in turn increases corner speed under high traction conditions, such as carpet or astro-turf, where lower ride heights are essential. With additional coils as well as a larger wire diameter, the new LF springs feature a natural silver finish with a colour indicator for easy spring identification. They directly replace existing springs and are intended to be used on the SCT410, SCT410.3 and the EB48SL vehicles. The set includes two springs and available are five front and five rear sets.
