Coming from Mugen Seiki and made for the MRX6 1/8th nitro on-road car are a low-friction belt pulley set and new heavy-duty aluminium front body mounts.

The package includes a full set of front, centre and rear pulleys and it is a direct replacement for the stock parts. Also new are 8mm front aluminium body posts. Being larger in diameter than the stock parts they also feature a hard anodised surface for wear and finer spaced body clip holes for more precise body height adjustments.
