Mugen Seiki have introduced new option parts for their range of on-road vehicles. First up are the HD pinions for the MRX6 and MGT7 cars. The heavy duty gears sport a nickel-plated surfaces rather than being hard-anodised which makes for improved wear resistance. They are available in four sizes including 15T and 16T first gear and 19T and 20T second gear variants. Also new are 3-hole and 4-hole pistons for the MRX and MTX cars. Coming in sets of two the pistons add more damper setup options to Mugen’s popular on-road cars and it is understood that they come in handy especially on high-bite surfaces.
Coming from T-Works is a titanium-nitride coated tyrer cutter tip. Compatible with most tyre cutters and truers the tip features a special surface treatment, known from hinge pins and shock shafts, that is both hard-wearing and friction reducing. The cutting element comes in a padded box for easy transportation and storage.
Muchmore have introduced their new Impact Linear FD2 series LCG LiPo battery pack. Made from high performance 110C cells the battery is only 22.3mm tall, meaning its use will lower the car’s centre of gravity compared to the class-standard 25.1mm packs. With a capacity of 6400mAh it is good for the use in modified and stock classes alike and the weight of only 271g also reduces the vehicle’s overall weight, allowing to put weight where it is needed.
