Mon-Tech JRSX Options & Body Stiffeners

Mon-Tech Racing

Italian company Mon-Tech Racing have released a number of new parts for the Losi JRSX Type R and 1/8th on road body shells. For the Losi there is a new drive pulley that allows you to mount all the spur gears that are on the market, due to the multiple fixing holes. Also new is an aluminium duff hub which works much better that the standard plastic versions as it reduces deformation and shaking in this area and is supplied with the drive shaft blades and the required screws. For 1/8th scale on road shells Mon-Tech have released some ultra strong body stiffeners, which work in a similar fashion to normal versions available but are moulded for extra stiffness.
