JQRacing Black Edition low rear shock tower

Coming from JQRacing is a new low rear shock tower for the Black Edition buggy. The shock stay sports lower shock mounting holes which reduces up travel slightly while making it easier to achieve the correct down travel. Drivers can screw the shock end on all the way, which adds safety. For smooth tracks, owners can also try adding one additional shock O-ring on the shock shaft, to reduce up travel further and the correct shock length to run is 120-121mm with this tower. As for the upper links, the stock middle hole is the same as the lowest hole on this tower. This means that there is one higher row on the new low tower. This can be good to run in high grip or bumpy conditions, where team drivers raise the hub with the middle insert.

Kyosho Inferno MP9e Evo 1/8th E-Buggy kit

Kyosho Europe have released first images of their forthcoming Inferno MP9e Evo 1/8th electric buggy kit. The vehicle builds on the successful, 8-times World Championship-winning MP9 and MP9e platform but features a redesigned chassis layout with a very forward-moved weight bias as components such as the steering servo, radio box and speed controller are located towards the front axle while the motor is now in a mid-ship position. The highly regarded flat control and aerial posture of the previous model has been maintained while a forward weight shift has improved balance for optimised handling. In addition, subtle changes to the battery mount create a lower centre of gravity that combines with the race-tested body design of the MP9e Evo to deliver superior cornering, traction, and rough surface performance required of a racing buggy to perform successfully at the highest level. The kit features the front and rear suspension and drive systems from the latest Inferno MP9 TKI4 10th Anniversary Special Edition and the layout of the A7075T6 hard anodised aluminium chassis fas been specifically designed for the MP9e Evo to optimise weight distribution for electric power performance and a lower centre of gravity.
