Reckward-Tuning SRX8 carbon fibre mud guards

RMV Deutschland have introduced the new Reckward-Tuning carbon fibre mud guards for the Serpent SRX8 series of buggies. The parts are moulded from high-quality carbon fibre for a low weight yet greater durability compared to polycarbonate mud guards. The parts attach to the rear lower A-arms and help to keep dust, dirt, mud and moisture away from the rear arms, driveshafts and lower shock parts which results in less dirt and weight build-up over the run. The mud guards come in sets of two and they are a direct fit on the SRX8 and SRX8E.
