ReveD Fluorescent Yellow DP-5 wheel

RC Drift specialists ReveD are to offer their popular DP5 competition wheel in fluorescent yellow.  Maintaining the maximum performance of this lightweight, 11g approx. each, and high traction realised by optimising the material, design, and dimensions of each  part, the new fluorescent color also gives it a sporty feel. There are two types of offsets, 6mm and 8mm, and the adoption of a large inner diameter and thin rim that avoids interference with the suspension.  The new colour option will start shipping at the end of April.
