Made for the Mugen MRX6X 1/8th nitro on-road vehicle is the MSE Performance Parts rear carbon body mount set. Designed in collaboration with IFMAR World Champion Robert Pietsch, the set fits most of today’s body shells while adding much needed stiffness for improved downforce and car balance especially on high-speed tracks. The set is made in Germany and includes all needed parts.
Coming from JConcepts and made for the Tekno NB48 2.0 buggy is the S15 body shell. The S15 blends performance features from the popular Silencer body with new features such as mid-body winglets and rear stabiliser kick-up. The roof of the body remains strong with the upper fin in position for stability and tracking ability. The engine area remains clean and a deep-rooted position allows the engine head maximum side exposure to air and escape. The front and rear body mount area is cleanly designed and allows for a drop-fit on the Tekno NB48 2.0 and other kit variants. For the precise fit, the design has undergone changes to match the Tekno chassis side-guards and body mount positioning. The S15 stance cockpit allows ample fuel tank access, a smoother high-speed windshield transition which tackles even the most high-speed conditions. The hard-edged chamfering provides the classic JConcepts look while also delivering aero benefits and perfect decal positioning. Included with the clear body come window masks, and a decal sheet.
