JConcepts Silencer Mugen MBX-7 Eco

JConcepts Silencer Mugen MBX-7 Eco-1

New from JConcepts comes the silencer body shell for the Mugen MBX-7 Eco buggy. Designed for the use on high-speed tracks it features a narrowed, Finnisher stance cockpit that allows for smoother high-speed transition and increased flow in and out of the body for electrical air-flow. A deep recess behind the cab features dual channeling out the rear providing air escape along with rear-end stability. The side-pods have a clipped rear-end, narrowing the rear by angling just in front of the rear tyres. The extended runner features on the rear-end of the body enhance the force placed on the rear pods during high-speed acceleration. The main pods are heavily chamfered with a more heat-shrink design over the speed control and motor areas. The end result has the body looking extremely low-profile with heavy JConcepts edginess and appeal and it is capped off with a cockpit “shark fin” for more high-speed tracking stability and increased roof stiffness.

RPM Team Associated B44 series front A-arms

RPM soon have front lower A-arms for the Team Associated B44 series of buggies available. They are moulded from RPM’s renown nylon material and are of a revised design making for less slop in the hinge pin area for precise camber, castor and toe settings, while offering added overall strength at the same time. The new design also does away with the moulded-on anti-roll bar ball joints in favour of optional 4.3mm balls, again to improve precision of the suspension system. The A-arms are a direct fit on all B44 buggies including the B44.1 and B44.2 and they will hit the stores by mid-January.
