Fast Race MBX7R & RC8B3 anti-twist bushings

Italian company Fast Race has introduced a set of anti-twist bushings for the front wishbones of the Mugen MBX7R and Team Associated RC8B3 buggies. Machined from aluminium the tubes help to keep the front suspension pins aligned with the lower front A-arms which results in a more precise steering feeling and suspension action especially on high-bite as well as bumpy tracks. The bushings come in sets of two and with a high-gloss finish.

HB D815 V2 1/8th nitro off-road buggy

Available soon from HB is the D815 V2 1/8th nitro off-road buggy. The follow-up model of the IFMAR World Championship winning car includes a range of option parts such as an extended chassis plate that adds 4mm of length to the rear end to allow for a longer wheelbase while also shifting the weight distribution for improved stability especially in high-speed corners. Additionally also the standard chassis plate is included in the kit to make for a wider setup range from stock. Along with the +4mm chassis comes a +4mm centre driveshaft plus a range of other optional parts such as carbon fibre suspension inserts, additional carbon fibre camber plates for the rear hubs as well as the “high” rear wing mount and the #4 carbon fibre Ackermann plates that provide a different Ackermann angle for more all-round steering, especially on high-traction or very technical tracks.

Cox Optima 2016 aluminium shock absorbers

Cox have introduced oil-filled aluminium shock absorbers for Kyosho’s Optima 2016 1/10th 4WD buggy. Machined from aluminium and coming with a high-precision finish the shocks offer an increased oil volume and travel compared to the standard “red” shocks. Design-wise the dampers are oriented at Kyosho’s iconic “gold” shock absorbers and thus they are making a cool period-correct option part. The shocks are available as separate front and rear sets including springs and also as combo package including both the short front and long rear shocks.
