MIP Pucks Bi-Metal drive system for PRS1

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.

MIP Pucks X-6 Cubed 17.5 drive system

The latest vehicle to receive MIP’s Pucks 17.5 drive system treatment is X-Factory’s X-6 Cubed buggy. The Pucks drive system is an aluminium based drivetrain system which includes aluminium diff outdrives, aluminium C-CVD bones, and replaceable plastic orange wear Pucks that take the place of the standard steel pins. This combination greatly increases the longevity of the drivetrain and most importantly decreases the drivetrain’s overall rotating mass by nearly 50 percent, making it ideal for 17.5T stock racing. The decrease in weight directly results in quicker acceleration, deceleration, and lower motor temps. Included in the X-6 Cubed specific kit are also a ball diff set including a new thrust race and a set of blue thread gel, clear silicone and MIP grease.
