Reflex Racing RSD TC6.2 carbon fibre bulkhead braces

Reflex Racing’s RSD bulkhead braces for the Team Associated TC6.2 were developed in order to change the flex characteristics of the car. By bracing the bulkheads at the top deck screws, the flex points of the chassis are moved closer to the centre line, which increases high speed stability and control. Additionally the braces provide more on power traction at whichever end they are being used. When using both stiffeners, the car will stay a little bit flatter at high speed, will be easier on tires, the response will increase in tight corners and the car will be easier to drive in sweeping corners. Machined from high-quality carbon fibre the braces are a direct fit and they come as a set of two.
