DB1 Kyosho 2WD Off-Road Conversion Kit

Rudebits are proud to introduce the DB1 Kyosho 2WD buggy conversion kit. Designed by David Burton, an experienced engineer and former BRCA nationals winner, the kit combined the front end of Kyosho’s Ultima series buggies with the rear end of the Lazer ZX-5 line of cars. The result is a low centre of gravity buggy with front motor and rearward placed saddle packs, driven by an inertia propshaft to overcome the disadvantages often associated with an inline motor placement. 

The kit includes seven carbon fibre parts such as the 2.6mm chassis, top deck, U-shaped support, LiPo battery braces and LiPo retaining straps. Also included is 20g a brass LiPo centre weight, under LiPo weights, alloy battery posts, weighted inertia propshaft, Shadow body shell, front alloy posts, decal sheet and setup sheet. Not included are the front and rear end of the Ultima and Lazer, motor mount etc. The buggy that required a low-profile servo is available for pre-order now.

ULTIMA RB5 SP2 WC Limited Edition

Competition-level 2WD racing buggy is now equipped with even more racing power!

Designed and built to maximize performance from the latest brushless motor technology.

Based on the ULTIMA RB5 SP2 that conquered the Japan Nationals in 2009, this ULTIMA RB5 SP2 WC Limited Edition has been re-engineered and equipped for even more speed. Standard features now include big bore shocks (previously optional) reinforced idler gears for additional strength and efficiency, tungsten diff balls, high strength uni-crank, one-piece shaft and aluminum hex wheel hubs and a large slipper clutch. The front suspension has been modified to add 2mm to the lower suspension arms while maintaining the same tread. Precision suspension stroke reduces camber change while maintaining cornering height to deliver effective traction control and linear control feel. Each aluminum part included in the new ULTIMA RB5 SP2 WC Limited Edition is anodized in gun metallic color for a dynamic style to match performance. This machine is designed and built to challenge at the elite level of 2WD buggy racing.
