Xray X4 ’26 2.0mm Carbon Upper Deck

Xray has released this optional one-piece 2.0mm top deck for their X4 ’26 1:10 Electric Touring Car. Machined from high-grade USA made carbon material, the shape of the top deck has been specifically designed to achieve maximum traction and great steering characteristics at the same time. The one-piece top deck features milled holes for special tweak-free top deck screws and works with the centre layshaft location in the middle of the chassis. As a set-up option it is mainly recommended for low to medium grip conditions as the top deck increases the chassis flex, which helps generate more mechanical grip. Initial steering response is reduced, making the car more forgiving to drive. Featuring milled holes for special tweak-free top deck screws it works with the centre layshaft location in the middle of the chassis. The top deck can be connected to the motor mount using several screw mounting configurations.

Tekno RC Polished Shock Caps

US offroad kit manufacturer Tekno RC has released a new Polished Shock Cap for its 1:8 shocks. Building on their proven shock cap design, this polished shock cap set delivers the same versatility and strength but now with a race-inspired polished finish. CNC machined from 7075 aluminium, these shock caps support standard, vented, and emulsion shock configurations in one solution. The polished surface is inspired by team driver Jimmy Fishback, who began polishing his own shock caps in pursuit of better looks and easier maintenance. The polished surface helps reduce oil and dirt buildup, making cleanup faster and easier after long runs. It also does a better job of hiding small scratches and wear, keeping the shocks looking cleaner and newer for longer. Left, and, right specific caps position the cap screw toward the inside of the vehicle, while the bleeder hole faces the rear, helping keep dirt and dust away during use.
