MIP’s new Pucks bi-metal R-CVD driveshaft set are now available for the Hobby Pro PRS1 buggy. This new design features a keyed joint made out of hardened alloy steel that connects to 7075 hard anodised aluminium bones. This feature allows to lighten up the drivetrain without sacrificing the durability that steel components offer. The R-CVD design also helps to keep costs low while 7075 hard anodised aluminium outdrives further reduce the rotational mass of the drivetrain.

Hobby Pro USA introduce a new 500cc fuel bottle. Made from a plastic material with the “right feel” the bottles are not too soft to having pitman overfill the tank nor are they too stiff to give a false sense of grip. They come printed with Hobby Pro USA logos and sport a long black anodised neck with plug.
