Team C Racing introduce the V2 version of their popular 2WD mid motor buggy. The latest incarnation of the buggy, that is purpose-designed for high bite surfaces, features a new rear end that made a first appearance on the TM4 4WD buggy. New aluminium suspension mounts with eccentric plastic inserts make for swift and easy anti-squat and toe-in angle changes and they replace the standard “solid” brackets. All other features such as the 14mm big bore shocks with bleeder caps, the gear differential, rear stabiliser and front aluminium suspension mounts remain unchanged from its predecessor. There is no exact release date yet but it is understood that the kit will hit the stores “very soon”.
