Xray T4 rear front lower suspension holder

New from Xray comes this 1-piece rear front lower suspension mount for the rear end of the T4 touring car. Designed to replace the standard split mount with a single piece holder, the part is best used on high-grip surfaces as it is made to improve steering and rotation into corners. Another benefit of the mount is a higher rigidity in crashes as the 7075 alloy part securely stays in place. The holder comes orange anodised and it is a direct replacement for the standard split mounts.

Updated Team C TC02C buggy coming?

Team C recently revitalised the TC02C 4-gear mid motor buggy with the introduction of a gear differential conversion kit and now the proactive Asian company shows a first image of a TC02C “Evo” bodyshell. It is understood that many Team C team drivers requested a more “conventional” mid motor buggy as the company’s TM2 in-line mid motor buggy excels on very high grip surfaces but the ever present torque steering, due to its longitudinally mounted motor, gives the buggy a life of its own on medium-bite tracks and this is where the TC02C (Evo) buggy would kick in. Previously the Evo range marked the hop-up variants of existing buggies so you can expect the TC02C Evo to sport a variety of performance and durability enhancing options. We bring you more information on what appears to be Team C’s next project as soon as they become available.
