MIP B6 Roller Pucks bi-metal drive system

Coming from MIP and made for Team Associated’s B6 2WD buggy is the Roller Pucks bi-metal drive system. It features two-piece bi-metal outdrives that are comprised of both 7075–T6 aluminium and high-grade heat tempered machine steel to shred 30 percent off of the OEM rotating mass, which equates to quicker acceleration without compromising strength. Being that the diff outputs are steel, it is fully compatible with the popular MIP Roller Pucks which have a 360 degree wear pattern and are 100 percent replaceable. The system is ideal for racers using 10.5T motors or higher and it not only fits the new B6 but also the older B5 and B5M. The kit includes all needed parts to perform the conversion minus the stock diff gear, wheel axles and CVA rebuild kit.

MIP TLR 22 3.0 Pucks 17.5 drive system

MIP have introduced the Pucks 17.5 drive system for the TLR 22 3.0 buggy. Designed with stock racing in mind, MIP’s popular Pucks drive system is now also available for TLR’s latest 2WD competition buggy. The multi-piece construction is making it possible to keep the original axles as well as seeing superior wear that comes from a steel yoke. With that change MIP also have upgraded the diff balls to tungsten carbide balls for the ultimate in wear and efficiency. Overall, the race-proven design lightens up the drivetrain’s rotating mass by as much as 50 percent; which means quicker acceleration, less motor fade, and it allows to keep the car’s drivetrain fresh with replaceable Pucks.
