Mugen introduce three new hauler bags

Coming soon from Mugen are three new hauler bags in different sizes. The largest is a 3-drawer 580x360x545mm bag, perfect for all 1/8th buggies thanks to its triple 160mm tall drawers.

Vigor BD8-2018 carbon chassis, top deck & shock towers

Made for Yokomo’s popular BD8-2018 touring car are Vigor RC’s new carbon fibre main chassis, top deck and shock towers. The chassis is of an updated design with larger cut-outs under the diffs for increased torsional flex and thus improved steering and traction in lower bite track conditions. The chassis is cut from 2.25mm high-quality carbon fibre and a direct fit. Also new is a narrow-design 2.0mm carbon fibre upper deck. The item sports updated outlines for an overall slimmer appearance and thus increased torsional flex, again helping with steering and traction in lower grip conditions. A direct replacement for the standard upper deck the part can be mixed and matched with any chassis type. Last but not least come new front and rear shock towers for the use with short shock absorbers.

Vigor RC IF14 multi carbon battery mount

Vigor RC have introduced their new multi carbon battery mount for the Infinity IF14 touring car. The tweak-free battery mounting system is constructed from carbon fibre and aluminium and it does away with the need to use tape to strap the battery into the chassis in favour of a mount that only slightly touches the upper parts of the battery. The result is more natural and equal flex left to right while the overall design also allows to shift the battery forth and back in order to fine-tune the car’s weight balance.

Rebellion-RC BD8-2018 carbon fibre conversion set

Made for the popular Yokomo BD8 touring cars is Rebellion-RC’s new carbon fibre conversion kit. Designed to fit both the 2018 and 2017 vehicles, the set contains a new carbon fibre chassis whose special design with milled pockets for additional silicone cushions allows for optimised flex characteristics while retaining a low centre of gravity. Also part of the package are reduced thickness 3.0mm front and rear shock towers – doing away with the standard 3.5mm items. The parts are of a plain design without countersunk holes which is known to improve overall stability. Next up is an updated upper bumper plate for improved crash resistance and better main chassis protection while the upper top decks are available in three different designs and in 2.5mm, 2.2mm, 2mm or 1.5mm thickness. All items are also available separately, they are CNC-machined from highest quality carbon fibre and they come in a total of twelve different colours. All parts fit both the 2018 and 2017 model, however due to the updates Yokomo made between the two model years the motor mount sits in the “2018 position” when using the chassis in the older 2017 specification kit.

New for the rear axle clamps are also composite inserts that will extend bearing life.
