DE Racing MP9 & MBX-6 Skid plates

We’ve covered a number of skid plates from DE Racing and today they have released versions for the Kyosho Inferno MP9 and Mugen MBX-6 (above) buggies. Made of ultra thin resin, eliminating the need for longer screws, the plates provide protection for your expensive 1/8th scale buggy or truggy chassis.
