RB5 Brass Bulkhead at last!
 

Hi
My old man finally got round to sorting out my brass bulkhead. It fits fine and weighs 40g, so a little more than the 30g of lead i was currently running. I haven't raced it yet but will feed back when i have. It is an exact replica of the kit item including the 25/30 deg kick up options.

If anyone would like one then send me a PM or reply here. Price will be £20 inc postage or £21 if you want it recorded delivery.

Apologies for pictures, i have no idea how to do close ups well!

PM sent.....

Thanks to everyone who has replied to me. Just a little more info.

I'm happy to ship abroad as the RB5 seems a lot more popular abroad than in the UK judging by the enquiries!
price will be around £21 including basic airmail or £25 for insured, signed for airmail.

Availability will hopefully be in a few weeks time. Anyone else interested drop me a line and i will pass on the final quantity to my father next week sometime.

thanks

Greets Kim Sitensky

unfortuntely due to work load my old man had to shelve them. If he gets a quiet period then he may well make some, but as he is barely covering costs with them his priority has to go to his main contract work.
Sorry.
i will post again if there is any change.

Kim - i sent you an email as you requested, i assume you didn't receive it?

Yes, i didn´t get one! [email protected]

Kim

Is there anyone willing to sell their metal bulkhead? please drop me a pm.

thanks

Why do you need this? Is it common that the original brakes? Or is it for the extra 10g?

there is no problem with the original in terms of strength. This was designed purely for the additional weight to save cramming in weights that may fall out during a race.

yep, and as my original is broken, I was thinking of getting the metal one.

there is an alloy one available, details in another kyosho rb5 thread. But this doesn't add any weight over the original so not really worth the additional cost.

Do you have any brass one still avalible

as per post 7, they have currently been shelved. If i have any more news i will post if/when they become available.

Realy would like one how much would he want to charge to make me on i dont mined paying over the odds

Cheers

Richard

no idea, but for him to put aside his core work it would be alot!
i'll ask him when i next speak to him to see if he can squeeze a few out as i've had quite a few requests recently.

that wousld be great cheers

Richard

I take it still no news on these Jim.

wouldn't it be easier to go to a company and order a 100 of them to be made and sell them on? Either via a distributer of kyosho goods? it seems a simple enough job

cut blank, mill out profile the blank, drill pivot holes, drill counter sunk holes.
Just send a 2d engineering drawing with specs and tolerances that don push the cost up but don't compromise the quality of the product.

A few things, brass is expensive and it's not that easy to produce this part for a good price. And you'd need kind of a garantee that all 100 units will be sold, and trust me 100 units is a lot of selling to be made. So even though I could make them I'm not even gonna think about it.

exactly, brass isn't cheap. And to make it worth while you would have to order a fair few. I had enquiries from over 20 people, majority in Europe, not UK. So shifting 100 would be pretty tricky!

oh, and to answer the initial question. With the credit crunch looming and work slowing down, the old man might have a bit more time to knock some up. I'll give him a prod.

If possible i will take 10 of your hands.
Need them pretty quick though mate.
By the way Could you ship my order to Norway by any chance?
Pm me please.

Fredd.

I know that Fab, but it seem like a good mod,surely by pulling a few favours;) we could get a limited run of 100 sold with the option to reorder, you just need to to get a deposit order list set up for a 100 orders. A simple excel sheet and bit of advertising on the forums and maybe redrc, would get the orders in....

Hi mate.. has there been any possibility to make any more of these? I would be interested in having two off you.

..or if you have none available.. could you point me in the right direction to where i could get my hands on one?

any help is appreciated. this is a great idea to add weight to the front.

cheers
gurdeep

there maybe a batch in the pipeline soon as my old man is pretty quiet at work currently.

put me down for one!

ok mate.. put me down for two, and let me know how youd like the payment when your ready.

cheers
gurdeep

I will take 2 of thees nice Parts!.

yep, but with a big red "sold out" button :cry:

that one is also alloy so doesn;t really add weight to the front. i'll keep you posted if i get a batch

i'll have 2 please.i can supply the brass for mine.
 

i'll have 2 please and i work with brass all day at my job so getting square or rectangle of round,hexagon brass is not a problem.if i can post you the brass and you make them maybe we can talk about a price for 2 off. pm me if interested.:D

righto ... keep us updated when u start on a new batch. cheers.

cheers, my old man works with it regularly too so no need to send any down.

unsure of timescale, but i'm hoping he can get some sorted in the next few weeks. I will post on here when he has done some.

If possible I would like 2 , pm me details.
