Allowing you to carry more closing speed up and over jumps then scrub speed in the air and get the tyres back on the ground as soon as possible, driving the car, and decreasing lap times. With buggy fitment including HB Racing D8/E8, Mugen MBX8/ECO, Associated RC8 B4.1, TLR 8X series, Kyosho MP11, Sparko F8/F8e, Agama, and Sworkz, each body is made in the USA using crystal clear polycarbonate.
