Kyosho ZX7 graphite front tower & front brace

Posted: 18 Dec 2018 12:20 AM PST

Coming from Kyosho and made for the ZX7 1/10th scale 4WD buggy are a low centre of gravity carbon fibre front shock tower and a carbon fibre front lower brace. The LD “low down” front shock stay offers a reduced height and new geometry, making it ideal for high-grip tracks as it lowers the overall centre of gravity. The shock tower is cut from 5mm high-grade carbon fibre, ensuring maximum durability.

The lower front brace, cut from high-quality carbon fibre will reinforce the front end of the buggy when running in high-grip racing conditions, limiting the chassis’s front flex for less aggressive cornering and thus more constant lap times. The part is a direct fit and it comes including mounting hardware.
