Flash Point MBX7-series extended nitro engine mount

Coming from Flash Point and made for the Mugen MBX7 series of nitro off-road vehicles is an extended engine mount. The part reduces chassis flex and increases clutch bell, spur gear, and clutch bearing life as the mount extends all the way to the fuel tank post to reduce flex in the clutch bell and spur gear area to provide more consistent power delivery. The reduced chassis flex also provides more consistent handling in all conditions. The engine mount fits the MBX7, 7R, 7T and 7TR.

JConcepts B64-series chassis protective sheets

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Team Associated B64 series of buggies are chassis protective decals. Pre-cut for a perfect fit the hard-wearing stickers protect the chassis bottom from becoming excessively scratched and damaged when running on abrasive surfaces. The application is slightly different on the B64 vehicle because of the low ground clearance and suspension design of the buggy. JConcepts made modifications to the sheet to help some peeling and tearing back of the corners of the material at the front edges of the chassis. This exposes chassis in this area but allows sheet to live another day on abrasive and surfaces constantly pulling against the sheet. Included in the package are two stickers and additional rear “skid plates”.

RDRP XB2 brass servo & chassis weights

Available now from Revolution Design Racing Products are the XB2 brass servo and chassis weights. Starting with the chassis weight, it is purpose-designed for Xray’s XB2 and XT2 series of off-road vehicles, made from high-quality brass material and is a direct fit in the vehicle’s electronics compartment. The plate is held in place using the kit’s standard battery mount posts and it slightly raises the electronics but at the benefit of additional 36g of weight that keep the vehicle more planted in high bite or bumpy track conditions. Fixed by only two screws it also allows to easily remove the electronics, such as the receiver and speed controller, for cleaning and maintenance.
