Designed for the use with the popular MIP tools is the LMR T-wrench. The add-on handle allows to get some leverage on tough to shift nuts and bolts and it works with all 22mm MIP handles. The tool is 3-D-printed from tough material for durability.
MIP has completed its line of 1/8th scale Bypass1 off-road pistons and now include sets for Agama, JQRacing, SWorkz, Tekno and Xray. Featuring colour-codes valves, the Bypass1 pistons combined together with these valves allow to control and maximise the car’s performance based on which valves used. Thicker valves generate a slower rebound and thinner valves get quicker rebounds. Each set includes four pistons and a set of three different valves. The Agama set includes 6+2 pistons, the JQRacing specific sets consists of 6+6 hole pistons, the SWorkz kit includes 6-hole pistons, the Tekno set is a 6+6 hole variant and the Xray compatible set also includes 6+6 pistons. The set will become available by end of July.

Coming from MIP is the X-Duty front CVD kit for the popular Traxxas Fiesta ST Rally car. Featuring a strong splined X-Duty steel construction, the driveshaft kit gives extra strength for those that are into drag racing and thanks to being fully rebuildable, owners can easily replace components that have reached their end life. The parts are made of black oxide coated steel to protect the components from premature rust while the strong construction prevents ripped and twisted drivetrains.

MIP’s popular Bypass 1 pistons are now also available for Kyosho and HB Racing 1/8th scale off-road kits. Featuring colour-codes Valves, the Bypass1 pistons combined together with these valves allow to control and maximise the car’s performance based on which valves used. Thicker valves generate a slower rebound and thinner valves get quicker rebounds. Each set includes four pistons and a set of three different valves with the Kyosho MP10/MP9 set coming with 16mm 8-hole pistons while the HB Racing set includes 16mm 5-hole pistons. Both are available from now on.

MIP’s popular Bypass1 1/8th scale off-road shock pistons are soon also available in dedicated variants for Team Associated and TLR 1/8th off-road kits. Just like MIP’s Mugen-specific Bypass1 pistons, the AE and TLR spec pistons are fully customisable and allow to truly control the car’s rebound speed and performance. The pistons are also dyno-tuned to ensure they match the compression characteristics of the stock pistons. Featuring MIP colour-coded valves, the pistons combined together with the valves allow fully to control and maximise the car’s shocks performance based on which valves used. Thicker valves generate a slower rebound and thinner vales get quicker rebounds. Each set includes four pistons and a total of twelve valves, four of each hardness.
MIP have introduced they new 3.0mm ball end hex driver wrench and Speed Tip tool. They allow to reach difficult angled screw heads and are designed to work up to ten degrees of angle. The super beefy ball end cut is designed to increase overall tool head strength and the ball end dimensions are optimised to increase tool head to screw head bite force. Beside the proven wrench MIP also offers the Speed Tip version which speeds up wrench time considerably thanks to fitting into most of today’s rotary tools.
Coming from MIP and made for the Cross RC Demon G2, and G1R updated vehicles, is the R-CVD driveline kit. Made of alloy steel, the fully US-made kit it designed to deliver top performance and longer lasting parts. The kit allows to turn the tyres to a true to 46 Degree angle with no binding; resulting in top performance and reliability thanks to utilising a unique mechanical stop between the axle and bone where they will bottom out before the cross pin, safeguarding the cross pin from breakage leading to a longer lasting parts. The upgrade kit fits any Cross RC Demon with a G2 or G1R axle upgrade and does not require any type of modification. This kit also utilises MIP HD driveline couplings, allowing for easy rebuilds.
MIP have introduced the X-Duty rear centre shaft kit for the Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer. Made as a solid steel CVD shaft, the MIP X-Duty centre shaft is designed and built to handle any and all driving conditions. The shaft requires no modifications, simply install it in the UDR and it also utilises X-Duty couplings and hardware for easy rebuilding. The shaft is also tuned length to ensure the shaft never bottoms out when the chassis flexes resulting in a longer lasting shaft. The drive shaft is made so tough, it easily withstands 6S LiPo power and all rigours of bashing.
