MIP EB410 shock cartridge spacer kit

MIP have introduced a shock cartridge spacer kit for the Tekno RC EB410 1/10th 4WD buggy. The stock shock cartridge setup uses two X-ring seals that ride against themselves. As they aren’t designed to be stacked together they tend to roll during shock compression and they will act like a pump or vacuum, and pull air into the shock body which will make shock bleeding after every run necessary. This is where MIP’s shock cartridge spacer kit steps in. It includes eight spacers which will eliminate the need to constantly bleed the shocks. The spacers keep the same friction on the shaft to allow it to move freely but keeps the X-ring seals orientated to their proper shape during compression and rebound; thus resulting in a more consistent shock feel throughout the run. Included are four cartridge guides and four cartridge spacers but no X-ring seals.

MIP announce EB410 Pro4mance chassis bundle kit

Coming soon from MIP and made for the Tekno RC EB410 1/10th 4WD buggy is their new Pro4mance chassis bundle kit. The next generation 13.5 performance bundle chassis kit rebalances the car to give a stable and smooth drive. The new chassis re-configures the battery to the back of the chassis and lays the servo down. The end result is a more balanced weight between the front of the chassis and back resulting in a smoother drive and allows the car to rotate through corners better, brake faster, and accelerate quicker than standard EB410’s. The kit also features new carbon spine braces, new servo mounts and front and rear centre bones which come standard with MIP 1.5 Pucks. The kit is available for pre-order now and should hit stores soon.

MIP Hotshot/Bigwig Super Ball Diff set

MIP have introduced their Super Ball Diff set for the Tamiya Hotshot and Bigwig re-release 1/10th 4WD buggies. Available for pre-order now and only manufactured if a minimum of 250 pre-order are received by end of January, the kit includes two 2-piece, steel outdrive, ball differentials with MIP thrust assembly and diff balls. The diff is unique because it is rebuild-able while also being adjustable with the overall design increasing acceleration and corner speed. Slight modification will be needed on the gear case of the car in order to get the part to fit. More information can be found here.

Tekno EB410 13.5 Performance Bundle package

Coming from MIP and made for the Tekno EB410 4WD buggy is the Pucks 13.5 Performance Bundle package. Designed for the growing 13.5T stock class, the set is an aluminium based drivetrain system that features an all-new redesigned 2-piece aluminium bi-metal bone and alloy steel yoke, two front 78mm bones and two rear 69mm bones as well as the name-giving 1.5 Pucks. The latter increase the longevity of the drive system by reducing the wear and tear between the pins of the bone and slots of the cups. In addition the set decreases the drivetrain’s overall rotating mass by 25 percent. The decrease in weight directly results in quicker acceleration, deceleration, and lower motor temps.

MIP TLR 22 4.0 Pucks 17.5 Drive System

MIP have introduced the Pucks 17.5 Drive System for the TLR 22 4.0 buggy. It features an aluminium based drivetrain system which includes a 2-piece aluminium outdrive cup and aluminium outdrive hub, two Bi-metal bones, and the replaceable plastic orange wear Pucks that take the place of the inferior steel pins. This combination greatly increases the longevity of the drive train and most importantly decreases the drivetrain’s overall rotating mass by 50 percent. The decrease in weight directly results in quicker acceleration, deceleration, and lower motor temperatures. The set includes all needed parts including the ball differential but except the diff gear and wheel axles. The kit is available for pre-order now and will be produced if 125 pre-orders are received by MIP until November 20th.
