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.

RDRP B84 MonoCore 7075 Aluminum Chassis Set

Revolution Design Racing Products (RDRP) has released this MonoCore Chassis Set for the Team Associated B84 1:10 4WD Buggy. It is the result of extensive development in collaboration with the RDRP race team who was given the goal to create a chassis that is not only faster, but significantly more durable than standard components. Compared to the original, the chassis layout has been completely revised. The front and rear sections, where the gearboxes are mounted, have been widened. This adjustment increases overall strength while also improving the flex characteristics of the car. The result is more consistent handling and increased grip in critical sections of the track. Special attention has been given to the critical front kick-up area. While conventional designs often reach their limits here, RDRP introduces an innovative solution in the form of the included B suspension mount which is made from high-strength steel and is secured using a central screw combined with two precision locating pins. This construction distributes forces more effectively, eliminates weak points, and ensures exceptional durability even under hard landings. Another highlight is the integrated carbon ESC plate that allows you to remove or replace the ESC quickly and easily without having to scrape double-sided tape from the chassis. Manufactured from high-grade 7075-T6 aluminium, the chassis delivers the perfect balance of weight and rigidity. Visually, it stands out with the signature RDRP finish of deep black anodising combined with elegant silver chamfered edges.
