Press Release from Imbue Motorsports:

Introducing more new products for the Mugen MBX8 & MBX7 platforms. First up is an Aluminum Center Dogbone Conversion Kit. Aimed at freeing up the driveline, increasing ease of maintenance and reducing overall driveline weight by 16g, this conversion fits both MBX7R and MBX8 Nitro & Eco variants and is sold as a complete set.

Included in the release, is the much anticipated Brass C-Block for MBX8 Buggies. Made from high-quality brass, coated in black oxide and then pocketed and chamfered for a stunning look, this C-Block offers 19g of additional weight to a critical area at the rear of the vehicle.

Also released, is a set of Ultra-Low Friction Pivot Ball Bushings. Made from a structural Teflon (Rulon), these CNC'd bushings reduce friction by 50% over similar Delrin bushing and nearly 65% over stock Nylon bushings, allowing for a much freer, and more consistent steering feel.
