This 3.5cc buggy engine features sleeve timing and port design which has been optimised for increased run time, while a reinforced crankcase allows for ‘better concentric mating during thermal expansion and contraction’. Utilizing an ABC piston and sleeve with 5 + 2 ports and single exhaust port, the engine’s 14mm crankshaft has been coated for reduced friction and longer engine life. Finally, the cooling head has been drilled for light weight and increased cooling and the supplied 2 needle carburetor comes with a 6.5mm, 7mm and 8mm venturi insert.

LRP SXX Stock Spec BL Speed controller

LRP have introduced the new SXX Stock Spec brushless speed controller, based on the IFMAR World Championship winning SXX TC Spec with new developments specifically for stock-spec racing. Featuring dual ADPC max software, this allows independent adjustment of ‘Feel’ and ‘Boost’ for maximum flexibility and high power, while a twin BEC ensures constant 6V/3A output with 3.0V to 7.4V batteries meaning there is no need for a receiver battery for 1S LiPo or 4-cell NiMH Batteries. A revolutionary internal temp check system allows you to read the maximum internal temperature for both the speed control and motor while the AutoCell system is a fully adjustable cut-off system for all types of cells.

King Headz Losi 8ight Front caster blocks

New for the Losi 8ight 2.0 and 8ight-T 2.0 are these front caster blocks which have been CNC machined from 7075 aircraft grade aluminium and anodized. These blocks will allow you to adjust caster on each wheel independent from the other wheel by simply loosening two bolts, rotating the block and then re-tightening the bolts. There are indexing holes and a provided gauge to let you adjust the block from 5 degree of additional positive caster from the stock Losi block all the way to 5 degree of negative caster in 2 1/2 degree increments. These are also designed to increase rigidity, add strength and improve durability.
