Kyosho introduce new TF7.7 optionals

Coming from Kyosho and made for the TF7.7 touring car are new option parts in the form of a thinner top deck as well as shock pistons and volume compensators. Starting with the top deck, the part is machined from 1.6mm high-quality carbon fibre and it is best used in combination with the TFW177R/BK V2 chassis as it optimises the overall flex when running on high-grip tracks, ensuring increased stability and traction. Next up are the 2×1.1mm and 2×1.2mm shock piston sets. They were developed for the use with the W5307 shock set and come as pairs. Using the pistons allows for a wider range of shock setups. Last but not least come soft shock diaphragms for the TF7.7 that are understood to offer less natural rebound.
