RC-Project MBX8-R Steering Hub Weight Kit

Italian option parts brand RC-Project has released this new Steering Hub Weight Kit for the Mugen Seiki MBX8-R 1:8 Buggy. Their latest kit is designed to give you maximum flexibility in weight distribution, helping you fine-tune your buggy based on track conditions and driving style.

The kit includes 2 x aluminium bases (L/R), 2 x aluminium mounting brackets (L/R), 2 x 5gram weights and 12 x hex screws.

RC-Project Diff Washer

New from Italian option parts brand RC-Project is this Diff Washer. Unlike traditional plastic containers with metal mesh inserts, this new model stands out for its premium materials and refined design, offering superior performance, long-term durability, and virtually zero maintenance. Weighing 160 grams, it is extremely compact and easy to handle or transport, yet its internal volume is more than sufficient to meet the needs of even the most demanding racers. The container and lid are CNC-machined from solid Ergal 7075, while the internal basket is made from AISI 316, a high-grade stainless steel renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance. The Grade 5 Titanium vent screw, treated with a PVD coating, ensures exceptional wear and corrosion resistance. It allows internal vapors generated during the cleaning process to escape, ensuring optimal cleaning results without any risk of pressure build-up. The Diff Washer is also designed to be completely leak-proof, thanks to two NBR O-rings placed on both the lid and the vent screw. These O-rings provide a perfect seal, preventing any liquid leakage even during transport or storage when filled.

RC-Project MBX8R Shock Towers

Italian option parts brand RC-Project has released new shock towers for the Mugen Seiki MBX8R.

New from Italian option parts brand RC-Project comes this 30-gram Rear Chassis Weight for the Team Associated RC8B4.1 1:8 Buggy.

Unlike the previous model with a fixed position, the new version allows for forward weight adjustment, enabling fine-tuning of the mass distribution according to the driver’s specific needs. Additionally, the lower geometry has been revised to ensure a mount that minimises contact surface with the chassis, significantly enhancing the chassis torsion.
