The performance of the new bike is much sharper in the corners, yet more stable and relaxing to drive. It has broken the existing lap record at every circuit at which it has appeared.

The KP10n nitro bike has been 3 years in development as we are determined that it should have performance at least comparable to our electric powered bikes. Click this link for price list and building instructions.

Fully ball raced scratch bars

Introducing our new range of fully ball raced and adjustable length scratch bars. These feature long lasting 25mm dia Delrin balls each one double ball raced on to a nominal 6mm dia nylon rod housed in a holder that allows some adjustment to the effective length. The BS107 is the simplest to fit as it uses the existing 3mm hole in the chassis side, but its adjustment range is only approximately 20mm. The BS107a requires a 9.7mm hole in the chassis side but then can use the internal width between the side to give 40mm plus adjustment range. We can also supply the BS108a special smaller balls to be legal for the world Championships.

- Drivers running these bars have reported smoother cornering as compared to the fixed end type, due to less drag from the ballraced balls.

- Wear is also reduced, with the balls lasting much longer due to less friction with the surface.

Price excluding VAT
BS107 Double ballraced adjustable scratch bar set complete with mount - surface mounted £14.58
BS107a Double ballraced adjustable scratch bar set complete with mount - surface mounted £14.58
BS108 Ball raced Delrin wheel only - pair - 25mm £2.84
BS108a Ball raced Delrin wheel only - pair - 20mm (W/C special) £2.84
BS109 Crash bar wheel ball race adaptor - pair £2.98

BS111 Crash bar support post - surface mount - pair - 20mm adjustment £4.54
