MIP Ten-SCTE Roller Pucks shiny drive system

MIP have introduced the Roller Pucks shiny drive system for the Losi Ten-SCTE short course truck. Building on the design features of the MIP Pucks system the Roller Pucks utilise large diameter metal bushings in favour of the standard small diameter pins to make for improved wear characteristics as the Roller Puck material is softer than the hardened steel outdrives. Included in the set are a pair of shiny CVD bones, two Pucks outdrives, metal pucks and it is usable with the Losi Ten-SCE 1.0, TLR Ten-SCTE 2.0 as well as the Losi Ten-Rally X.

Coming from Xray and made for the XB2 line of 1/10th 2WD buggies are two brass front bulkheads. Available as 26 degree and 23/29 degree variant the bulkheads not only help to adjust the front wishbones kick-up angle, they also add 46g of weight to the front most part of the chassis which can result in more on-power steering compared to running the standard composite blocks. Both bulkheads come laser-etched for easy identification with the 23/29 degree part requiring the use of the optional 23/29 degree aluminium front arm mount.
