Losi 1/8 Buggy Molded Inserts

Losi have released these molded foam inserts specifically designed for Losi 1/8 Buggy Tires. Featuring a special design and material formulation they ensure that the contact patch and side wall flex remain consistent and correct for the life of the tire. Unlike punched sheet foam or cheaply made generic inserts, these molded foam inserts will not break down and their consistency is second-to-none; one tire will not be softer or harder than the next, either of which can create serious handling problems.

K-Factory HiFL Dual Intake Air Filter

K Factory have released their HiFL Off-Road Dual Intake Air Filter, developed to be the most efficient and easy-to-maintain off road air filter available. The Dual Intake design dramatically reduces air turbulence within the filter and allows air to flow smoothly and unrestricted, which means your engine breathes better and as a result operates at maximum power without stalling. The dual stage foam filter traps dust and debris that could ruin your motor, yet allows the free flow of air to keep your engine running smoothly, while the lightweight design eliminates drag and helps reduce overall vehicle weight.
