Australian company Bezerk RC have introduced two new optional carbon fibre top decks and a battery hook set for the Yokomo YZ4 buggy. First up are the two optional top decks. Both are made from 2.0mm carbon fibre and for low to medium grip conditions, the Supaflex version is made to allow more flex, resulting in reduced and more consistent lap times. The split design also allows some level of adjustment, like an on-road top deck, more or less screws can be fitted to fine tune the amount of flex.
Coming from Spec-R and made for the Xray T4’16 touring car is a 2.25mm carbon fibre chassis plate. Cut from high-quality carbon fibre the chassis is of a fully symmetrical design with the milled motor pocket also apparent in the battery compartment to make for equal left-to-right flex characteristics. The chassis is a direct replacement for the stock part and available soon.
