Ultimate Racing MBX8R Front Hub Carrier Arm Mounts

New from Spanish Modelix Racing brand Ultimate Racing comes these new Front Hub Carrier Arm Mounts for the Mugen Seiki MBX8R 1:8 Buggy.  Designed and rigorously tested by the Kilic brothers, they offer a performance overhaul for your buggy or truggy.  By allowing a 4mm reduction in bumpsteer, these mounts provide a more linear steering feel whether you’re pinned on the throttle or heavy on the brakes. Made from 7075 Aluminium with a high-resistance anodised finish in sleek grey, key benefits of the mounts are better response through increased steering under braking (compression).  Custom tuning is achieved via 3 link positions to replace and outperform Mugen E2153 & E2168.  In terms of tuning the inner position gives maximum turn-in for low-grip tracks while the outer position tames the car for high-grip, high-speed tracks.

Tekno RC Polished Shock Caps

US offroad kit manufacturer Tekno RC has released a new Polished Shock Cap for its 1:8 shocks.  Building on their proven shock cap design, this polished shock cap set delivers the same versatility and strength but now with a race-inspired polished finish.  CNC machined from 7075 aluminium, these shock caps support standard, vented, and emulsion shock configurations in one solution.  The polished surface is inspired by team driver Jimmy Fishback, who began polishing his own shock caps in pursuit of better looks and easier maintenance.  The polished surface helps reduce oil and dirt buildup, making cleanup faster and easier after long runs.  It also does a better job of hiding small scratches and wear, keeping the shocks looking cleaner and newer for longer.  Left, and, right specific caps position the cap screw toward the inside of the vehicle, while the bleeder hole faces the rear, helping keep dirt and dust away during use.
