RudeBits DB1 to Be Released on 10 May

The new DB1 Kyosho-based mid-motor 2WD conversion will be launched on 10 May 2012. Designed by David Burton – an engineer for some 18 years, a racer for over 20 and a past BRCA National round winner – the conversion is appropriately named after him. Tested, developed and distributed by the RudeBits team – well known for their brass weights – the revolutionary chassis made its major debut at the BRCA National event at Stotfold on 14 April. Amongst the strongest field of drivers assembled in the UK, the DB1 had a great first outing and finished on the podium in the hands of Kyosho driver Kevin Lee. After extensive testing with the Kyosho drivers, RudeBits have confirmed that the DB1 will be available in a conversion format and that kit will consist of the following items:
