MIP Traxxas Race Duty CVD drive shafts

Now MIP’s Race Duty CVD drive shafts are offered in both steel or aluminium for many Traxxas vehicles. The new Steel line is comprised of aircraft grade steel bone for higher output machines, along with a strong steel X-Duty axle. The aluminium line makes use of light weight hard-anodised aircraft grade 7075 aluminium bones for less rotating mass, along with the steel X-Duty axle. The fusion axle is strictly designed for two-cell LiPo batteries with both versions of the drive shafts offer a maximum of durability and added rigidity over the stock parts. The CVDs are available for Slash, Nitro Rustler, Nitro Stampede, VXL and 4×4 trucks.

MIP Pucks 17.5 drive system & alloy C-CVD’s

MIP Pucks 17.5 drive system & alloy C-CVD's

MIP introduce new drivetrain option parts for a wide range of 1/10th off-road vehicles. First up is the Pucks 17.5 drive system, a blend of aluminium differential outdrives, aluminium C-CVD drive shafts and orange plastic pucks that take the place of the gnarly steel drive pins. The parts scrub around 50 percent of weight in the drivetrain increasing acceleration and deceleration while lowering motor temperature at the same time. The plastic pucks significantly reduce outdrive wear at the same time as there is no metal-to-metal contact lowering running costs over time too. The set is ideal for 17.5T stock racers and includes pucks, outdrives, a diff gear, bearings and hardware, bones and axles, lube and thread lock and it is available for the RB5/6, Ultima SC-R, TLR 22/T/SC, as well as B4, T4 and SC10 kits.

MIP Pucks Drive System & alloy B4 C-CVD shafts

MIP Pucks Drive System & alloy C-CVD shafts

MIP introduce new option parts for the TLR SCTE truck and the Team Associated B4 buggy. Starting with the SCTE part, new are the MIP Puck Drive System centre driveshafts that reduce the running noise of TLR’s 4WD SC truck. The set contains two 7075-T6 aluminium C-CVD centre driveshafts, centre input hubs and special pucks that make for a wobble free fit of the shafts in the input hubs. Taking half the weight out of the drive system the set improves acceleration and braking performance and the design significantly reduces the running noise due to zero backlash. The parts are a direct replacement for the stock TLR shafts and come including hardware for a drop-in fit.

MIP SCTE 2.0 Super Diff rebuild kit

MIP introduce the Super Diff rebuild kit for the TLR SCTE 2.0 and MIP Pro4mance converted SCTE trucks. The set fits all trucks that make use of the TLR332001 diff case, it can increases diff life by more than five times and includes lightweight, hard-anodised 7075 aluminium crosspins, hardened steel pin supports and hardened steel, stamped washers. The materials will increase durability and lower friction between parts to provide increased performance by lowering the overall rotation mass.

MIP Pro4mance SCTE 2.0 rigid chassis braces

MIP introduce the Pro4mance rigid chassis braces for the TLR SCTE 2.0 short course truck. They are made from 7075 aluminium and designed to improve chassis stiffness significantly. The bolt-in braces also do not wear out as the standard plastic parts do, for longer durability and a predictable chassis setup. Included with the set, that fits both the standard TLR SCTE 2.0 and MIP Pro4mance converted SCTE trucks, comes all needed mounting hardware.

MIP SCTE 2.0 Bypass1 team tuned pistons

MIP SCTE 2.0 Bypass team tuned pistons

MIP introduce their Bypass1 team tuned shock pistons set for the TLR SCTE 2.0 4WD short course truck. The kit includes pistons whose design is based on full-scale valve technology to allow for nearly infinite setup possibilities of shock compression and rebound thanks to special valves that control how the pistons moves through the shock fluid. The octagon shape of the piston reduces drag while keeping it guided in the shock housing. Included in the set are four #7 shock pistons, ‘fast’, ‘medium’, ‘slow’ and ‘gap’ valves as well as shims and locknuts. Additional pistons and a wider range of valves are available separately. The set fits all TLR SCTE 2.0, Losi SCTE 1.0 and MIP Pro4mance converted trucks.
