Italian company BMT has introduced the new 801 series nitro and electric ready-to-run buggies. Both utilise hard-anodised 7075 ergal chassis plates and 3-diff shaft drivetrains with front CVA driveshafts for great forward traction and efficiency. The fully adjustable suspension utilises 4mm aluminium shock stays and threaded 17mm aluminium big bore shock absorbers with 4mm shock shafts for exceptional rough track handling while front and rear anti-roll bars ensure crisp handling in high-bite track conditions. The nitro variant includes Ferodo-clad brake pads for best possible stopping performance and sealed receiver boxes ensure the electronics stay dry in wet weather conditions. The 801 nitro buggy comes equipped with a Hyper 21 Turbo nitro engine while the 801EP E-Buggy is propelled by a 2000kV Hobbywing motor and 100A-rated 4S LiPo-compatible speed controller, the latter also includes a programming card. Both cars are controlled by 14kg-cm Savöx steering servos and the sets are rounded off by 2.4GHz radio systems, pre-decorated body shells and grippy buggy tyres.
Made for Axial’s popular SCX10 II trail truck come new stainless steel differential protectors and a centre skid plate from Yeah Racing. The differential protector is usable on the front or the rear axle and it provides protection for the diff cases when the rock crawling action is getting serious. The pre-bend item is a direct fit to the AR44 axle and made of quality stainless steel. Also new is the centre stainless steel skid plate for Axial’s SCX10 II transmission plate. It will provide adequate protection from the trail and being in the lowest point of the chassis will give it a low centre of gravity.
