Xray X4 Lightweight Alu Steering Hubs

Xray has added these Lightweight Alu Steering Hubs to its optional parts list for their X4 Electric Touring Car platform. CNC-machined from premium lightweight T6 aluminium, their ultra-strong construction provides very long life and durability in even the most extreme racing conditions. A direct replacement for the standard composite hubs, using the steering blocks in an aluminium material reduces flex, and improves consistency, and will free up the car, mainly for high grip conditions, and especially in spec racing classes. The hubs allow full adjustability of the axle height to adapt the car to every condition. The X4’s carbon front steering plates and rear ARS plates are easily mounted depending on the hub’s location. The design of the hub is universal with the same part used at all four corners with corresponding extensions. Due to its lower height compared to kit composite hubs, 2.0mm additional shimming must be used to achieve the same upper arm height above the hub.

VBC Racng FF18 Revival 2026 Kit

A manufacturer that has been quite of late, VBC Racing has announced its FF18 Revival 2026 kit which is a tribute to the original FF18, one of the Hong Kong company’s most celebrated front-wheel-drive 1:10-scale touring car platforms. VBC say this this limited release exists because loyal fans and veteran club racers have long clamoured for a return of the FF18’s unmistakable driving character—light, agile, and unforgivingly fast on asphalt tracks. After VBC’s strong comeback, they are drawing directly from their existing original stock parts to make this authentic revival possible at an accessible USD $199 price point, repackaged for modern appeal and enriched with select factory upgrades like the new aluminium front C-hub. It’s not a ground-up redesign but a deliberate homage: preserving the hands-on build experience that defined the era, while addressing real-world racer feedback for enhanced high-speed stability. This release bridges VBC’s storied past with today’s FWD scene, offering collectors a genuine piece of history and active racers a platform ready to dominate local layouts without breaking the bank.
