VRP MBX8 aluminium radio tray mounts

VRP have released a set of aluminium radio tray mounts for the Mugen MBX8 buggy. As the buggy’s engine heats up, it causes the stock plastic mounts to flex, making for inconsistent servo inputs. The alloy mount however will provide a more stable radio tray that will not give or flex compared to stock plastic mounts. The items are machined from American-grade 7075 aluminium and they come black anodised, with machined silver edge details and laser-engraved markings for looks.
