VRP D817/E817 V2 rear shock tower

Vision Racing Products has just released their new V2 rear shock tower for the HB Racing D817 and E817 line of buggies. The tower features the same geometry as the Stock V2 HB rear tower with one interesting feature has been added in the form of the wing mounting holes. There are sets of holes that allow to utilise the stock HB Racing wing mount in the stock locations, or use the new Mugen MBX8 wing mount for a finer wing height adjustment. The V2 tower is available in black anodised 7075 aluminium as well as carbon fibre.

Hot Race Tyres 1/8th buggy carbon wheels

Coming from Hot Race Tyres are new carbon-reinforced 1/8th buggy wheels. They made a first appearance at the recent Montpellier GP where they helped Robert Batlle to take home the silverware. By using carbon fibres to reinforce the nylon material, the rims are lighter and stronger than standard wheels and they provide an easier driving feel all while being more consistent in both low and high temperatures. The wheels will become available from early March.
