Leadfinger Racing MBX8 A2.1 buggy body shell

Coming for the Mugen MBX8 and MBX8 Eco buggies is Leadfinger Racing’s new A2.1 buggy body shell. The A2.1 body and front scoop for the MBX8 is a one off design from the original LFR Assassin body. The new A2.1 not only delivers an updated new look and tuning option, but is also designed to work with and fit the popular MBX8 Eco electric buggy. Three changes in total have been made to the new design. First is the addition of the cowl scoops on the side pods. Depending on the performance the racer os looking for, these can be left alone to add to the overall down force of the car, or they can be drilled out for additional cooling. New for LFR is the addition of the roof fin. The advantage is more stability in high speed sections of the track, giving the buggy a better and more precise feel throughout the car. The final upgrade is the addition of down force added to both of the rear side pods. This helps to keep the car planted and provide more level jumping. With the new A2.1 design from LFR, racers now have an option to better suit their tuning needs for a variety of track surfaces. The body is available in both lightweight or standard thickness’, including window masks and stickers.
