Axial Wraith front & rear sway bar kits
New from Axial Racing to set your Wraith up for high speed rock racing, or Recon G6 Challenge style events is this front and rear sway bar kit. Designed for high speed this system will let you soften up your suspension for jumps, while keeping torque twist and body lean to a minimum during acceleration. A sway bar’s main function is to control body roll, yet still allow your shocks to move vertically with the changing terrain giving you more stability at high speed. Each sway bar lever is made from CNC machined black anodized aluminium and each kit includes three different steel sway bars (soft, medium and firm) for fine tuning body roll and suspension articulation. All required hardware is also included.

MIP ‘Real Shocks’ Bypass1 piston technology
MIP have announced the release of their ‘Real Shocks’ Bypass1 piston technology. Unlike any piston seen before in the RC Industry, this Piston is design inspired by Real Off-Road Vehicles. The basic drawback of a stock piston is that when the shock compresses, all of the oil must be forced through the provided holes at once. Of course, this design works to an extent, but as the shock moves faster and more force is applied the oil simply cant travel through the holes fast enough. Because of this, the shock will actually pack out thus hindering the cars handling. MIP’s Bypass 1 piston regulates the amount of oil transferring from the bottom of the shock to the top depending on the amount of velocity and force the shock is subject too. The allow a car’s shocks to perform unhindered and gives the driver and endless range of adjustability.
