Kyosho RudeBits DB2
When we posted this in March 2012, people laughed about the comment ' The future is here'
Now everyone, including manufacturers are trying to copy the proven platform of the revolutionary Kyosho DB1. David Burton certainly started something. Baring in mind that no other platform similar to the DB1 has won or TQed a National event like the DB has, one could say they still need to work at it....LOL David Burton has raised the bar to an all new height with the new DB2. Seen at the TORCH club this weekend, Dave Burton TQed an impressive field of talented drivers first time out with the car. Watch this space I suppose.....due mid-September ish Pre-orders via email for now at tony@rudebits.net A few spy shots for your pleasure |
At times, there's nothing more that a man can do except drool! :drool::drool::drool:

So besides the RB6 front end, are there other updates/changes to the car? And why switch to the RB6 front end?
Note: This is out of curiosity, not a judgement on the design :) |

You will notice the motor is further back and on the other side of the car.
You will also notice Shorty Lipo Also now room for big servo A lot more subtle changes but all are improvements over the successful DB1 |
I have to say watching Dave B racing and Tony E *Testing*-He will get the little joke :lol: run the DB2 on sunday at Torch, the 1st thing I could see that it has tons of front end. Watching them run all day sunday was impressive and the cars certainly looked the dogs b*llocks on the track!
It looks to be another great car, and I can see these selling like hot cakes! |
LOL @Kerr

Does it only take a shorty lipo? I only asks as I was of the understanding 10th scale buggies had to be able to take stick or saddle packs? |
Car looked great on track at Torch, put me on the list please Tony.

I broke (silly mechanic) in the first round but then repeated what Steve did and TQed and Won.... Exciting days ahead ..... |

How is the front kickup achieved? Is the chassis shaped at the front?
|
The carbon chassis should have the kick-up built in, not an easy task as most carbon suppliers don't offer such work.
|
Are you getting one of those, tomtom? ;)
|
Off course mate :drool:
Happy Bday btw ! |
Haha! thanks!
That DB2 looks ballistic :drool: |

Out of interest. If I have a db1 could I buy an rb6 front end and the db2 chassis (which I assume is similar to a db1 with a slightly different front end screw alignment and cut) and have a db2. Just out if interest I ever wanted too?

Is it the old ZX-5 motor mount?
|
Is there a list anywhere of what is needed apart from the conversion kit
|
I watched AndyP's DB2 run last night on carpet/skippy floor at NEAM and it looked very, very good indeed for a first run. He was on pole when I last looked but we headed off early as 8yr old son needed to be up for school :)
