DE Racing 8ight-X & MP10 BumpSkids & rear skid plates

Coming from DE Racing are their new BumpSkids and rear skid plates for the TLR 8ight-X and Kyosho MP10 buggies. Starting with the BumpSkids, they combine a well functioning front skid plate with a refined front bumper to create the ultimate in protection, performance, and styling. As for the rear skid plates, like the front BumpSkids, these are ultra thin, they wear like aluminium and save the chassis from becoming overly scratched or damaged. They are sold in packs of three and use the original bulkhead mounting hardware.

Kyosho MR-03Evo SP chassis set

Coming soon from Kyosho is their new MR-03Evo SP chassis set. It builds on the proven MR-03Evo that utilises separate receiver units to allow the use of Kyosho, KO Propo or Futaba transmitters for better car control and faster reactions while the included Speed House Speed 85 8500kV motor propels the car to enormous speeds. The SP version also comes with nickel-plates hex screws for cooler looks and more convenient maintenance, the MZW432 fluid-filled centre shock as well as a ball differential as standard. The kit is rounded out by a new front arm set that enables the driver to use 1, 2 or 3 degrees caster angle settings.

Kyosho MP10T hard composite lower arms

Kyosho have introduced their new hard composite lower arms for the MP10T 1/8th scale truggy. Moulded from a harder-than-stock material the arms come in handy especially when running in high ambient temperatures or when racing in high to very high bite track conditions. Using the harder arms results in more precise handling as they do not flex as much as the standard kit arms, however they can take away some overall traction and stability in colder conditions. The arms come as separate pairs for the front and the rear of the truck.
