Mugen MBX8 high mount carbon fibre rear shock tower

Following the aluminium high mount rear shock tower for the MBX8 series of buggies, Mugen now also released a carbon fibre variant to further increase the tuneability of the rear end. The shock tower features the same shock and camber link geometry as the standard one, however additional wing mount positions allow to run the rear wing in higher positions which will help with rear downforce if needed. The shock stay is made of high-quality carbon fibre and it fits both the MBX8 nitro and MBX8 Eco E-buggy kits.

T-Works D817 V2 titanium & steel screw sets

The first is a 135-piece set of UFO head titanium fasteners with the second being a 165-piece set of gold-colour steel screws. The titanium set was designed to reduce the overall weight of the buggy while adding corrosion resistance due to the high-quality 64 grade material. The gold-colour set however keeps the weight of the buggy the same, mainly adding visual impact.

Reds Racing WR7 2.0 7-port engine

Reds Racing have introduced their new WR7 2.0 7-port nitro off-road engine. It is a 7 special porting extreme power engine based on the WR7 Diamond edition and the power plant comes with the same sleeve and piston, crankshaft, crankcase, etc. as the first generation of the WR7, in order to keep its power characteristics unchanged. However, Reds Racing decided to update the previous version with improved idle stability and tuning options thanks to a new 3-needle setting carburettor, an improved mid to top range power curve and feeling thanks to a special low speed needle and mid range spray bar as well as an improved cooling system specifically developed to widen the operating range so that the engine can work well in extremely hot conditions. Furthermore, the new cooling system has been created to guarantee a more consistent tuning in every track condition. The engine is available with a DLC coated or with standard steel crankshaft and also as pre-broken-in and Racy Ready by EB variants.
