MIP Mugen MBX8/7 ByPass1 shock pistons

Fresh off their successful performance at the IFMAR 1/8 Scale Worlds are the next generation MIP ByPass1 pistons for the Mugen 1/8th scale off-road kits. Available in 6 and 8-hole configurations, the ByPass1 technology returns new and improved with 1mm pilot holes, that can be drilled out to the drivers specifications. Also included with each piston kit are the MIP colour coded valves which will allow to fully customise and optimise the car’s performance. The kit will elevate the vehicle’s suspension efficiency to a level that can be felt on the track and more importantly result in lower lap times. Instead of having the oil in the shocks react the same way in both compression and rebound, drivers can tune those characteristics with MIP’s pistons in conjunction with different valves to produce favourable characteristics on the track.
