T-Works have introduced a set of lower titanium shock mount pins for the Mugen MBX8 buggy. The parts are machined from high-quality 64 Grade titanium and will replace the standard steel parts for items of lower weight and greater corrosion resistance. A machined groove helps with precise droop adjustment. The pins come in sets of four and are direct replacements.

Italian company 7075.it have introduced aluminium front and rear shock towers as well as alloy lower suspension mounts for the Mugen MBX8 buggy. All parts are made of Swiss 7075-T6 aluminium and come hard anodised for looks and wear. The rear tower is of a heavy duty 5mm thick design and the suspension mounts also received updates to make them more durable than the standard items. Coming very soon is also a dedicated main chassis plate.
Coming from Vision Racing Products and made for Mugen’s new MBX8 buggy is a carbon fibre fuel tank guard with added heat shield. The carbon guard will keep the pipe from ever burning into the buggy’s fuel tank, and the heat shield will keep the tank from absorbing excess heat from the exhaust pipe. The guard easily bolts right onto the lower two screw holes on the side of the tank and the heat shield is precision cut 0.5mm smaller so it is easy to seal the edges with thin c/a, giving a a nitro proof set-up that will last.
T-Works have introduced front and rear steel chassis skid plates sets for the Mugen MBX8 buggy. The skid plates are machined from high-quality stainless steel for high corrosion resistance and protection of the front and rearmost parts of the chassis while in addition, the front plates also protect the droop “ears”. The plates come as separate 2-piece front and rear sets.
