Picco P-Zero MRX-4 Transmission kit

Italian company Picco, most famous for their engines, have started a new line of optionals called ‘P-Zero optional parts’. Their first product is this lightweight transmission kit for the Mugen MRX-4 1/8th scale, the same car company head Alberto Picco used to win the recent Worlds warm up race. The set, which can also be used with the Kyosho M3 (apart from the solid rear axle), includes the front and rear axles, 4 wheel nuts, 2 front drive cups, the rear solid axle and a set of 8 shims. All parts are made with high quality material and accurately machined to ensure the best match with the current drive shafts. The P-Zero line will also soon include a 1/8th scale on-road clutch, but more details to come on that later.
