Mayako MX8-24 Nitro Buggy

Mayako has released its latest challenger for the ultra competitive 1:8 Nitro Buggy market with the new MX8-24. Building on the success of the European Championship winning MX8-22, the MX8-24 is the next step in Mayako’s journey to providing the best car in the industry. Working with the Mayako Community, the configuration of the MX8-24 has been tailored to suit most conditions and drivers with a High KPI front end (KPI1/Caster1) to give drivers the confidence to drive the car how it is designed to be driven. Soft arms give increased durability while Front and rear upper links produce a more forgiving car. The buggy has height adjustable rear differential commonly used by drivers of all levels to adjust the handling for track conditions. The use of CVDs front and rear makes for an easy to drive car with maximum traction. Optional UJ’s available for more rear support on higher traction tracks. The MX8-24 shares the same design with the MX8-24MPC (for Mayako Community members only), with many spares and option parts shared. The MX8 is designed to be easy to drive and adjust out of the box. With an extensive information base available to all Mayako drivers, no one can get lost with the MX8.

Factory Team B74.2 Decoupled Slipper Clutch Kit

New from Factory Team for the Team Associated RC10B74.2 4WD Buggy is this Decoupled Slipper Clutch Conversion Kit which decouples the front drivetrain from the rear drivetrain when off power. Having the front driveline spinning freely when off power, and on the brakes, greatly reduces the front tire binding and scrubbing on the track surface through a corner. This allows for more off-power steering without affecting the on-power feel and acceleration that four-wheel drive provides. The conversion kit comes with everything needed to run the decoupled slipper with spare parts for common wear items are available as well.
