RC-Project MBX8 Ergal shock pins

Coming from RC-Project and made for the Mugen MBX8 and MBX8 Eco are threaded aluminium shock pins. They are machined from high-quality Ergal 7075-T6 material and come hard-coated for exceptional wear. A machined groove ensures a secure fitment using an additional M3 grub screw, meaning the pins will stay in place even in harsh racing conditions. The overall diameter of the pins has been optimised to make for best possible fitment of pin, arm and ball. The set includes four directional pins, enough to outfit one complete car.

Mugen MBX8T carbon fibre shock towers

Mugen have introduced new front and rear carbon fibre shock towers for the MBX8T nitro and MBX8T Eco E-truggy kits. Machined from high-quality material the shock stays are a replacement for the standard aluminium towers, helping to reduce overall weight for an overall lower centre of gravity and thus quicker cornering on high-grip tracks while offering different flex characteristics which can help in a variety of track conditions. The front and rear tower are available separately.
