Kyosho GPW22 - Nylon Crush Bar Set (for HANGING ON RACER)  [KY-GPW22]

Nylon crush bar set overview

This Kyosho GPW22 nylon crush bar set is an RC-scale spare part intended for the HANGING ON RACER model. The set provides a replaceable, sacrificial contact surface that helps absorb low-speed impacts and reduces direct load on adjacent body mounts and nearby components.

The component is molded from nylon to retain light weight and controlled flex under impact. In practical RC use the crush bar's role is to deform or break at impact points so that repairs to the main chassis or bodywork are simplified and repair time reduced.

Installation is straightforward when replacing existing crush bars: align the bar with the factory mounting points on the HANGING ON RACER chassis and secure with the original fasteners. The part is intended as a direct-fit spare; verify mount alignment and fastener condition before final tightening.

Tuning considerations: changing to a different crush bar material or thickness affects how energy is transferred during contact events. A nylon bar favours controlled deformation and minimal added mass, which can be useful for drivers prioritizing predictable impact behaviour during track practice.
