Designed for the Mugen MRX-4 1/8 scale on-road car, K-Factory have released this new dual brake system.

The set uses the same brake pad material as on real cars and is pre glued, harder, more durable and provides consistent braking power.

Inferno GT Custom Foam bumpers Categories - Kyosho, Accessories, On Road, Products - add a comment 
Kyosho America now offers custom foam bumpers for the Inferno GT and are specially cut to fit the contours of the two most popular bodies, the Aston Martin DBR9 and the Ferrari F430. The high-density foam bumper replaces the smaller stock unit for additional chassis protection, and it better supports the nose of the detailed bodies, preventing vibration and scraping against the ground. These custom bumpers simply bolt in place of the stock bumper and are a must-have for any IGT enthusiast.

K-Factory have released a range of shock oils that have been made from 100% pure silicone oil with no additives or fillers to degrade performance. Unlike carbon based oils, silicone oil is non-flammable, temperature-stable and won’t attack your shock’s rubber o-rings or plastic parts. Protecting the inner components and seals means your shocks won’t leak and thus render them ineffective. Each 2.5 oz bottle of K Factory’s shock oil is clearly labeled for easy selection, perfect for your touring, on-road or off-road vehicle and are available in 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 600 and 700 CST.
