Xtreme Racing Mini 8ight Truggy carbon fibre options

Made for the Team Losi Mini 8ight Truggy are three new carbon fibre option parts from Xtreme Racing in the form of a front and rear shock tower as well as mud guards for the rear A-arms. The shock towers come made from 3mm carbon fibre and replace the stock aluminium towers. They mimic the standard suspension geometry and offer several mounting positions for the shocks and camber links. The rear wheel guards are again made from high quality carbon fibre material and prevent excessive dirt build-up around the driveshafts and shocks when running Team Losi’s mini truck off-road.
