Xray X1 aluminium body post plate

New from Xray and made for the X1 formula car is an aluminium body post plate. The part allows the use of most of today’s front wings, who often have different body post mounting positions, and by using the plate, the position of the body post remains the same regardless the wing type. CNC-machined from high-quality aluminium and coming orange anodised the 4mm plate offers a high rigidity and improved looks.

JConcepts 1/10th off-road tyre sticks

JConcepts introduces the new 1/10th tyre sticks which allow a driver to neatly group sets of front and rear tyres together. With availability in blue or black colours, the tyre sticks can make an eye popping appearance in the pits or tucked away nicely in storage or racing bags. The sticks operate with two separate pieces that are designed to interlock and work together to snap and clinch into place. To use, simply slide the mounted tyres down the stick portion and position them so the last tyre has the hex facing outward. Slide the clinching retainer down the stick and align the hex into place in the wheel and pull snuggly together. As a bonus, extra stick length can be manually trimmed off for a more compact fit or finish to any clinched set of tyres.
