Exotek Lasernut HD Top Plate set

Exotek Racing has released this factory racing style heavy duty carbon fibre with alloy bracket top plate set for the Losi Lasernut 1:10 Crawler. The high gloss 3mm carbon fibre center plate is 1 piece for strength and lightness and attaches to the heavy duty machined alloy end plates for a more robust and great looking upgrade over the stock plastic top plate. The front alloy plate won’t deform like the stock plastic part and helps keeps your steering perfectly aligned for proper steering action. The top plate will not fit the Losi Tenacity as it is too long.

Agama N1 1:8 Buggy

Nemo Racing has just published a full presentation of their new Agama N1 which has gone on pre-order. The British brand has shown the pre production N1 before with Lee Martin racing it a number of international events including the World Championship but has now launched full details of the new 1:8 buggy platform. Introducing the N1 which features an unconventional suspension set-up, Nemo Racing say, ‘After years of development our revolutionary design concept is finally realised with the production N1. Its unique suspension creates an incredibly low COG (Centre of Gravity) race car, while our engineering teams years of experience has pushed us to ensure that not only is it fast, but it’s the easiest car to work on in its class. Lower COG makes the N1 more consistent to drive while being able to hold higher corner speeds than your average 1/8th buggy. Its not just in the corners where the N1 excels, through bumps it stays very flat with less tendency to want to flip over and in the air the N1 flies very low and stable as its unique clean aerodynamics have a tremendous effect, working the rear wing to maximum efficiency’

Mugen MBX8 optional clutch shoes for E2723 V2 Clutch

Mugen has released new optional clutch shoes for the E2723 V2 Clutch (4-Shoe). The 1 dot aluminium clutch shoe has a slightly smoother feeling on acceleration because it slips less than the standard E2718 aluminium clutch shoe. The 1 dot shoe work well for buggy and on lower grip conditions. The 2 dot aluminium clutch shoe has a slight more aggressive feeling on acceleration without slipping. The 2 dot shoes work well for buggy and truck when you need more aggressive acceleration or when traction is high. The combination of two carbon shoes (E2717) with one 1 dot aluminium and one 2 dot aluminium shoes is a great combination for most conditions.
