Lit R/C 8ight-X 5mm carbon fibre rear tower

Coming from Lit R/C Products and made for the TLR 8ight-X 1/8th scale buggy is a 5mm carbon fibre rear shock tower. The shock stay is machined out of matte 3k twill carbon in 5mm thickness and the geometry for the rear tower is the same as the stock kit tower, but has a thicker and stronger outer profile to be more durable. The lightweight tower also has small chamfered edges to help prevent delamination and in addition, Lit added more outer camber link positions with +10mm wing mounting positions to raise the stock wing mount.

Merlin McFly X20 carbon fibre topdeck

Merlin McFly have introduced their new topdeck for the Serpent X20 touring car. Designed by Lennart Skornia, the new upper deck has been optimised to improve the flex characteristics of the chassis in high traction carpet conditions as it reduces the overall torsional flex of the chassis both front and rear resulting in easier and more consistent lap times. The flex can be adjusted by either using screws or removing them from the top deck. The parts can be personalised or customised upon request.
