Ultimate Racing MBX7 series receiver battery box

Coming from Ultimate Racing and made for Mugen’s MBX7 series of nitro buggies and trucks is a 3-D-printed receiver battery box. Designed to do away with the vehicle’s standard “strap on” design, the box is large enough to take most straight-type receiver batteries while also allowing to leave the connectors inside the box for even greater protection against the elements. The 2-piece part is 3-D-printed from highly impact resistant material and self-locking nuts ensure that the screw threads do not get stripped over time. The box fits both the MBX7 and MBX7R kits.

Avid XB2 & XB4 FastTune titanium shock standoffs

Avid have introduced a set of titanium FastTune shock standoffs for Xray’s XB2 and XB4 line of 1/10th off-road kits. The FastTune feature allows to use a common 1.5mm Allen wrench to prevent the standoff from spinning while using a 5.5mm socket wrench on the other side, doing away with the need to use a 7.0mm nut driver or 7.0mm open-ended socket wrench to hold the standoff. The parts also scrub a certain amount of weight as each weighs in at about 1.25g. The set includes four standoffs that come in a reusable doodad container.
