Sweet looking buggy for sure!

For someone who doesn't know any better, what is upgraded/changed from the RB7?

"the features of the soon to be released buggy which at the front end includes as standard aluminium front axles, an aluminium front bulk head, a carbon fibre front shock tower, a shock tower protector and front wing. In terms of design a new steering set-up allows for greater ackermann changes and tuning. In the centre of the buggy there are two changes with a move to the now conventional battery tray layout. The rear brace has been redesigned and refined to allow more movement by removing some of the material. At the rear there is a carbon fibre shock tower with half hole adjustments but the biggest change is the move to 13mm big bore shocks. The RB7.5 also gets a new rear hub carrier for great adjustment options. The kit supplied body features revised rear aero design."


I believe this is Kyosho's answer to Associated and others. The big bore shocks and better tuning ability along with high quality parts out of the box should appeal more to racers.
I think when Kyosho was bought out, they sort of drifted from building a race quality car. You could build it up but it wasn't competing well with AE.
Hopefully this will put a focus back on the track at Kyosho.
Theres a link on the page @DavidB1126 posted to KyoshoEurope FB video. They show the car in some detail.
