MIP Wraith & SCX10 Spline CVD kits

MIP introduce new Spline CVD centre drive kits for the Axial Wraith and SCX10 off-road vehicles. The kits feature an updated design that was made necessary after Axial’s running changes to the chassis. The MIP kits will no longer feature the double set screw design to clamp onto the through hole but now incorporate a pin set screw for attachment. Along with that improvement MIP have also changed the drive hubs so that there is no longer any interference when it comes to making contact with the stock spur gear cover. The kits come as specific Wraith and SCX10 variants including hardware and a set of grease and thread lock.

MIP Pro8 conversion kit for the SCTE truck

Prototypes of MIP’s Pro8 buggy have been around for some time and now the company released a first official image of the kit. The set is designed to convert a Losi SCTE 1.0 or TLR SCTE 2.0 into a super lightweight 1/8th buggy that will make use of the chassis, drivetrain and most of the suspension parts of TLR’s 1/10th 4WD short course truck. The lightweight drivetrain parts and somewhat lighter shocks combined with the possibility to run lighter motors and battery packs makes for an overall lighter buggy, perfect for tight indoor and outdoor tracks. There is no official release date yet but we guess it the kit should hit the stores soon.
