Pro-Line Enforcer truggy bodyshells

Pro-Line introduce the Enforcer bodyshell for 1/8th nitro truggies. From the mind of Ty Tessmann and inspired from the Type-R buggy body, the Enforcer has a meaner and more angular front end look with swooping roof and bed sections for improved airflow and high-speed stability. The hood of the body is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels for more steering and faster lap times. The body is available in three different variants for the HB D8T Tessmann Edition, the Mugen MBX-7T and the TLR 8ight-T 3.0 and it comes clear, including window masks and decal sheets.

Max Airbrush MBX7R Magma bodyshell

Max Airbrush introduce the Magma bodyshell for the Mugen MBX7R line of buggies. Made from genuine Lexan material the body sports the company’s unique Magma design and as a novelty the body is usable with both the nitro and electric-powered variants of the MBX7R as the side pods are large enough to fit the battery underneath while still offering a slim overall appearance of a nitro body. The same applies to the engine area of the 7R Magma that allows for efficient cooling of the nitro engine without looking abandoned when left closed on the electric buggy. As usual the body comes clear, ready for own design ideas.

DKT DBlock flywheel retaining system

Italian company DKT introduce the DBlock flywheel retaining system for the Mugen buggy clutch. Designed to make for easier and faster maintenance the system also helps avoiding any damage to the springs as it features two nuts, one of which secures the flywheel to the crankshaft, while the second holds the clutch springs and shoes in place. To maintain or change the springs or shoe you simply have to undo the upper nut while the flywheel retaining nut remains untouched. The DBlock system is fully compatible with the Mugen kit parts.
