RSRC MP10 carbon fibre parts

RSRC, the brand of multiple European 1:8 Buggy Champion and factory Kyosho driver Reno Savoya, has released two new carbon fibre parts for the MP10 platform.  First are carbon fibre arms stiffeners which are designed as a “sandwich panel” system that leaves the internal reinforcements of the suspension untouched, with a 1mm plate on top and a 1mm plate underneath.  This will greatly improve the wishbone strength during big hits but also improves the precision of the buggy’s handling.  They fit both the MP10 nitro and MP10e electric buggy.  Second is a carbon fibre chassis brace for MP10e/MP10Te.  Unique and very good looking, the chassis stiffener will increase the car reactiveness but also hold the cables for a neat environment.
