Starting with the low pivot conversion, the set lowers the rear pivot ball height giving the car more overall traction, making it easier to drive. It also reduces the chances of the rear traction running out during a run as it works the rear tyres less. The set also allows the car to be run on a softer front tyre giving the car more overall traction and most importantly faster lap times.

Max Airbrush MBX7R Magma bodyshell

Max Airbrush introduce the Magma bodyshell for the Mugen MBX7R line of buggies. Made from genuine Lexan material the body sports the company’s unique Magma design and as a novelty the body is usable with both the nitro and electric-powered variants of the MBX7R as the side pods are large enough to fit the battery underneath while still offering a slim overall appearance of a nitro body. The same applies to the engine area of the 7R Magma that allows for efficient cooling of the nitro engine without looking abandoned when left closed on the electric buggy. As usual the body comes clear, ready for own design ideas.
