VRP MBX8 carbon fibre fuel tank guard

Coming from Vision Racing Products and made for Mugen’s new MBX8 buggy is a carbon fibre fuel tank guard with added heat shield. The carbon guard will keep the pipe from ever burning into the buggy’s fuel tank, and the heat shield will keep the tank from absorbing excess heat from the exhaust pipe. The guard easily bolts right onto the lower two screw holes on the side of the tank and the heat shield is precision cut 0.5mm smaller so it is easy to seal the edges with thin c/a, giving a a nitro proof set-up that will last.
