Mugen have introduced new aluminium lower arm inserts for the MTC1 touring car. A replacement for the standard A2108B part, that is made of plastic and thus less durable, the alloy inserts will also ensure greater precision and a more secure fit. The inserts come in pairs and they are available soon.

Coming from Mugen and made for the MTX6 series of 1/10th scale 200mm nitro touring cars is an adjustable front one-way set. The special design of the one-way allows to combine the exceptional braking performance of a front differential with the cornering speeds of a one-way, allowing to access the best of both worlds all while giving full adjustability using different viscosity oils. Generally a 500k fluid will be standard with softer oils being recommended for smaller, more technical and low-traction tracks while harder oils giving an advantage on larger or higher-grip tracks. The set includes machined alloy one-way housings, a moulded pulley, as well as outdrives and mounting hardware.

Coming from Mugen and made for their MBX8 and MBX8T kits are +2 and +4 RF suspension mounts. The +2 suspension hanger will improve the cars ability to glide over bumps while freeing up the rear end a little bit for smoother cornering. The +4 arm mount will further improve rough track handling, however it is only recommended for higher grip tracks as it increases rear end rotation. Both arm mounts are made of high-quality aluminium and they come anodised in Mugen’s signature blue-grey-ish colour.
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.
