PR Racing PRS1V3 low-profile body shell

PR Racing have introduced a new low-profile body shell for the PRS1V3 2WD buggy. With its special design the body is about 35 percent lower than the standard lid, which lowers the overall centre of gravity for improved rotation on high-speed tracks while also scrubbing weight thanks to the lightweight polycarbonate material used. With its optimised airflow the body also increases overall stability and it is a direct fit on the S1V3 FM kit.

MIP TLR 22 4.0 Pucks 17.5 Drive System

MIP have introduced the Pucks 17.5 Drive System for the TLR 22 4.0 buggy. It features an aluminium based drivetrain system which includes a 2-piece aluminium outdrive cup and aluminium outdrive hub, two Bi-metal bones, and the replaceable plastic orange wear Pucks that take the place of the inferior steel pins. This combination greatly increases the longevity of the drive train and most importantly decreases the drivetrain’s overall rotating mass by 50 percent. The decrease in weight directly results in quicker acceleration, deceleration, and lower motor temperatures. The set includes all needed parts including the ball differential but except the diff gear and wheel axles. The kit is available for pre-order now and will be produced if 125 pre-orders are received by MIP until November 20th.
