Following the success of the Roche ceramic range of bearings for electric cars, the company have now released ceramic bearings for the Serpent 733 and Mugen MTX-4R. The ceramic ball are made from pure Silicon Nitride material which is extremely dense. 60% lighter in weight and 7 times harder than steel, friction is reduced to near zero meaning your car’s acceleration and top speed will be better. The rubber seals are “LLB” low contact labyrinth type on both sides and after a few runs you will notice your bearing will get even smoother when the bearing seal beds in.

New from JConcepts is the Punisher body for the Mugen MBX-6. The radical new Punisher body features the slight cab-forward treatment which is amongst the most aggressive in class giving the Punisher top notch performance. Blended wing / body design gives additional down-force to the side-pods and windshield which increases drivability, corner speed and jump control. The rear base of the cab area represents the latest offering for 1/8th buggy racing featuring a super low profile design for increased engine cooling, air flow and escape. Also new are these Flip Outs, giving drivers that tire in-between the Goose Bumps and Double Dees they have asked for. A very small pin construction makes up the foundation for the Flip Outs design and gives the grip when the conditions are wet and green in the morning, when traction is sometimes hard to come-by. These tires are now available in green compound for both the 2.2″ 4wd front wheel and the 2.2″ truck wheel.
