Samix SCX10 III & Capra brass steering combo

Continuing their releases for the Axial SCX10 III and Capra, Samix have introduced this brass knuckle & portal cover set & scale brake rotor plus 8mm hex combo set. For a combined weight gain of 315 grams, this offers a better centre or gravity and forward weight bias for climbing. Made of high quality brass and etched with L and R for ease of installation, the parts have been black coated to help prevent corrosion and given gold highlights for that factory look. The scale brake rotor & calliper complete the look.

Ultimate Racing MBX8 upper arm & front wings

From Ultimate Racing for the Mugen MBX8 are some new aerodynamic attachments. First up is this clear lexan front upper arm wing, an aero option that attaches directly to the front upper arms. This tuning option helps to increase front end grip and traction at higher speeds, while helping to improve the front/rear balance in the jumps. These wings are feather light and include lightweight machined mounting brackets that create a strong and lightweight mount for installation. The front wing replaces the front nose-cone on the vehicle with a front wing design that has shown to produce enhanced steering characteristics. The front scoop includes 2 pieces per package, so a driver has enough to outfit their nitro and e-buggy with the same package. This wing provides increased feel and sensitivity in the larger sweeping sections and helped jumping attitude in the tricky jump sections.

T-Works lightweight closed locking wheel nuts

Similar to their P1 17mm lightweight locking wheel nuts released last week by T-Works for 1/8th scale buggy, truggy and GT cars, the difference is that these versions are closed on the end. Machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium the wheel nuts have been heavily machined to reduce weight with only 3 of the 6 corners of the nut left for an aggressive look. The serrated back will grip into the wheel, ensuring the nut will not come loose during your run. Sold as a set of 4, the P1 versions are available in grey, black, titanium, red and blue colours and in a P1.25, for HN and IGT8, in black and red.
