MIP SWorkz Bypass1 shock piston set

MIP have announced the release of their Bypass1 shock piston set for SWorkz’s 1/8th scale off-road buggies and trucks. Featuring colour-codes valves, the Bypass1 pistons allow to control and maximise the car’s performance based on which valves used. Thicker valves generate a slower rebound and thinner valves get quicker rebounds. Each set includes four pistons and a set of three different valves. The SWorkz-specific set features 16mm 6-hole pistons suitable for the S35 and S35-T vehicles and it comes including four pistons, three types of valves and mounting hardware.

RC-Project 1/8th off-road shock standoffs

RC-Project from Italy have announced the release of their all-new shock standoffs for 1/8th off-road buggies. Machined from high-quality 7075-T6 Ergal material the standoff bushings are of a specific design and geometry that greatly improves parts life of bushing and standoff over common designs. In addition a hard-coated surface and teflon treatment reduces friction between the bushing and standoff, allowing for a parts life of about 30 to 35 litres without replacing the standoff or bushing. The standoffs are available as 0 offset or +5 offset variants, separately or as Pro Driver package including Grade 5 6Al4V Titanium rolled thread screws for Team Associated, HB Racing, Mugen and SWorkz kits.
