8-racing now offers some carbon fibre option parts for the Durango DEX210 and Associated B4. The new carbon fibre shock towers and battery strap for DEX210 are stronger then the plastic versions and perfect for indoor racing. The carbon fibre chassis for DEX210 with front kick up is lighter than the original alloy one and brings more flex to buggy which is especially good for use on low traction tracks. Also new are some front and rear carbon fibre shock towers for the Associated B4 with blue anodized alloy holders, adjustable holders for 23,5mm and 25mm battery height and all screws you need to mount it.
