Penguin LCG Dart body for Cougar LD2

From Penguin Custom Bodyshells is this Low Centre of Gravity (LCG) Dart body for the popular Cougar LD2. Being very similar to the Dart body for the Cougar Laydown, the shell has been designed with modern software ensuring it goes as low as possible and is specifically designed for modern LCG batteries. Similar in style to the kit shell but much lower down the side pods and cab area giving amazing lap times and corner speed on the grippiest of carpet and Astro. Available in both standard weight and lightweight with window masks and made from high grade lexan.

Schumacher Icon F1 & Eclipse 4 V2 damper rod

New for the Schumacher Icon F1 and the Eclipse 4 is this V2 version of the damper rod. The V2 damper rod for the Icon F1 and Eclipse 4 has a much larger internal hole diameter which could simply be seen as a weight reduction over the V1 , however its primary purpose is to allow for easier filling with damping oil. A larger quantity of oil can be used, leading to a much longer lasting, consistent damping and therefore less frequent maintenance is required. The damping rate when freshly filled remains unchanged and damping setup’s will carry over from the v1 rod.
