T-Works MBX8 Eco Ti & gold-plated screw sets

Coming from T-Works and made for the Mugen MBX8 Eco 1/8th electric buggy are two new screw sets. First up is a 156-piece set of 64-grade titanium fasteners that includes UFO button head screws. The bolts are highly corrosion resistant, they scrub a good amount of weight and also add a bit of visual impact. The second new kit is a 167-piece set of gold-colour steel screws. Keeping the weight the same as the standard kit screws the set mainly adds a bit of bling.

Bezerk CK25 asphalt chassis

Coming from Bezerk RC is an asphalt-specific carbon fibre chassis for the CRC CK25 1/12th scale pan car. Designed for low to medium grip levels the main plate offers more flex while the geometry is kept the same but Bezerk reduced the width in many areas, front, mid and rear. The large front window adds more steering and overall added flex improves grip at both ends. Made from 2.5mm carbon with a traditional weave the chassis weighs in at just under 49g. The main plate only suits the conventional servo position and like all Bezerk products it can be customised to suit special needs.
