With the PNWC, the World Cup of 1:28 racing, coming up in November in the United States, Reflex Racing has release this PN2.5 Low Profile Damper System.

Simple and high performance, this suspension kit is compatible with traditional T Bars, ensuring easy installation and reliable performance. The kit comes with everything necessary to install in your PN2.5, with the exception of a top shock. Here, you can chose to use our Reflex Racing RX28A-32 or any other “traditional” 1:28 scale centre shock. Also new from the Texas based brand is their True Spec 460mah battery. This battery has the same footprint as their 400mah 8.7V LiHv battery, but it is slightly taller at 13.0mm vs 12.3mm. The result is increased capacity and much lower Internal Resistance (approximately 30% lower than the current 400s). These batteries are ideal for stock and super stock racing where discharge curve is essential to keeping the fade down to a minimum.
