RDRP B5RM/MM Multi Option brass front bulkhead

RDRP B5RM/MM Multi Option brass front bulkhead

The new Revolution Design Racing Products B5 series brass Multi Option front bulkhead set is made to replace the standard plastic composite bulkhead on B5, B5M and T5M kits with a heavier part in order to adjust the vehicle’s weight distribution. The part is made from high-quality brass material and it comes laser-etched for easy identification. Included is also an aluminium front suspension pin brace to round out the factory look and to help add rigidity. While the heavy brass part shifts the weight distribution to the front of the vehicle in order to reduce wheelies on high-bite surfaces the part also helps to calm down the front end on bumpy surfaces and it can help adding steering in low-bite conditions. On top of that the included delrin bulkhead inserts allow to run 25 degree or 30 degree wishbone kick-up to further fine-tune the steering characteristics without having to swap the whole bulkhead.
