PR Racing S1 V3 FM & Type R 2018 buggy kits

PR Racing have introduced the 2018 kits of their S1 V3 FM 2WD mid motor off-road buggies. Available as standard and further upgraded Type-R variant, the latter includes all new shock absorbers, towers, carbon chassis and a whole range of optional parts previously only available separately. The new lower shock geometry and new sleek body produce a much more stable car on high grip which changes direction quicker, and rotates through the corner smoother and at higher speed. The 2018 edition cars both include the universal type chassis which means it is easy to swap between the 3 gear laydown and the stand-up gearbox. The Type R utilises a 2.5mm carbon fibre version of the chassis which offers reduced weight and more reactive handling characteristics, while the Standard 2018 FM continues to use the alloy version.

LMR Slider carbon fibre ride height gauge tool

LMR have introduced their new Slider carbon fibre “twister type” ride height gauge tool. Running lower ride heights with 1/10th scale buggies and trying to slide a ride height gauge underneath and backwards and forwards can often cause issues when fingers get in the way, bumping into the car while trying to set the ride height. The carbon fibre slider increases precision and makes checking ride height far easier as it takes a twister-type ride height gauge that can easily be slid under the chassis plate while checking and adjusting front and rear ride height.
