X Factory SCX-60 Conversion kits

X Factory have announced that they will soon release the SCX-60 Conversion Kits. Two Kits will convert either the AE T4 or the SC10 to a mid-motor SCX-60. The new S.C. is based on the successful X Factory X-60 mid motor truck. These Kits will be limited production items because the chassis’ will be hand made one-at-a-time by Speedy Dad in Phoenix, Arizona. X Factory ships two X-60 chassis’ to Speedy Dad; he cuts each into two parts using a special jig. One has a long front end and the other a long rear end. Dad then mixes special graphite glue and glues the two long parts together to make an SCX-60 chassis. Another jig is used to insure the result is straight and true. After the chassis’ are together and dry, Dad uses his CNC mill to accurately cut three pieces of carbon fiber which are glued into the floor of the chassis and two more small pieces which go on the side rail. The Kits also come with a CNC machined rear bumper mount from the X Factory mill. The T4 Conversion Kit will contain a J Concepts “Truth” short course body and the SC bumpers and nerf bars, so it will be priced more than the SC10 Conversion Kit. The SC10 Kit will contain no body because the customer can re-use his existing SC10 body and the customer already has the bumpers and nerf bars.

Exotek EX05 Tamiya TA-05 LiPo chassis

Exotek have released the EX05, a high performance multi adjustment LiPo chassis for the Tamiya TA-05 bringing you pro level design features that would rival any top touring car. The EX05 chassis is designed and tested to equalize lateral flex, meaning no more inconsistent flex problems caused by 6 large battery cut outs like in the stock chassis making for much more predictable handling. Created using 2.3mm thick USA made quasi weave carbon fibre for the top and bottom plates, it is stiff yet ultra lightweight. The chassis has also been narrowed for less chassis scrub through corners for better corner speed and handling. The set includes a CF battery strap and alloy posts as well as polished anodized steering posts, spacers, long stand offs and motor mount posts.

Litemodz Constant Velocity Driveshaft

Litemodz were in touch to tell us that testing has begun on their latest ‘revolutionary product’, the all new constant velocity driveshaft. The benefits of this system is that it eliminates torque and speed fluctuations of the joint which currently manifests itself in wheel chatter. Theoretically by maintaining shaft speed at any given articulated angle this should potentially result in improved steering and wheel response. This CVD may be fitted to all existing model cars without modification. A release date has not been given but it is hoped to be soon.
