LRP S8 BXR evo options

LRP S8 BXR evo options

LRP have released some new parts for their S8 BXR evo 1/8th scale buggy. First up are these rear suspension arm mounts which are now available in 2.7° and 3.5° versions. Machined from aluminium, the increased caster makes the car more stable during acceleration and is especially good on bumpy and rough tracks. Also new is a range of tapered shock pistons which feature an angular bore in place of the regular straight hole. Available in 8×1.0mm, 8×1.1mm, 6×1.2mm, 8×1.2mm, 6×1.3mm and 8×1.3mm, the new configuration changes the damping characteristics of your car completely giving a much smoother action.
