T-Works MBX8 CF shock towers & arm stiffeners

Coming from T-Works and made for the Mugen MBX8 buggy are new carbon fibre front and rear shock towers as well as carbon fibre A-arm stiffeners. Starting with the shock towers, the parts are machined from high-quality 4mm carbon fibre and are understood to utilise the standard kit geometry. The towers are light of weight and due to their different flex characteristics compared to the standard items, they can improve handling on slippery surfaces. The shock stays are available separately or as a complete set including the front and rear tower. Also new are carbon fibre A-arm inserts for the MBX8. The inserts will reduce the natural flex of the arms which can be beneficial in a range of track and temperature conditions. The inserts are machined from high-quality carbon fibre and are available as a complete set or separately for the front or rear.

Pro-Line BFGoodrich T/A KM3 1.9” crawler tyre

Coming from Pro-Line is their all-new BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 1.9” G8 Rock Terrain truck tyre for scale trucks and rock crawlers. Pro-Line was given early access to the design of the just announced full-size BFG Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 tyre and recreated it for the Scale Crawling community in 1.9” size. Its aggressive tread lugs bite into loose or muddy surfaces and climb over slippery rocks which is further helped by the soft G8 rubber compound. Based on the BFGoodrich Krawler T/A KX symmetric tread design, the Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 features deep, self-cleaning independent tread blocks and linear transverse flex zones to provide the grip that you need to get over the toughest obstacles. Pro-Line’s scaled-down variant fits most 1.9” crawler rims and it comes including suitable foam inserts.

VRP MBX8 carbon fibre rear shock tower spacer

Vision Racing Products have released their new carbon fibre rear shock tower spacer for the Mugen MBX8. This spacer goes between the rear bulkhead and tower to space the whole tower back by 3mm. The spacer re-positions weight reward to accommodate the advancement in light weight wings and wing mounts, in addition to moving the upper shock mounts back to reduce shock bind. All this results in more rear grip that the new MBX8 can benefit. The spacer includes the camber mounts so there is no shimming necessary to keep them in the correct location. The item is made from 3mm carbon fibre and it is available now.
