East Mugen & Kyosho middle bearing blocks

East, the Japanese modified parts maker, has begun selling these new middle bearing blocks for the Mugen MRX4-R, the Kyosho Evolva and the Kyosho V-One RRR, which because of their construction prevent twisting and therefore reduce damage to the front belt. Made using high grade aluminum, each part is anodised and comes in a range of different colours with all sets supplied with ceramic bearings that help increase the drivetrain efficiency. The V-One RRR set comes with an additional titanium center pulley shaft, which is very light yet extremely strong.
