BrunoRC BR1-X4 servo gets 4xWorld Champion restyle

To celebrate the huge success of the servo at the recent ISTC World Championships in Italy, including Bruno Coelho’s successful title defence, BrunoRC has given its BR1-X4 servo a restyle. Launched 1 year ago to coincide with the release of Xray’s new X4 platform, the servo, which is specifically developed to directly fit the X4, statistically was one of the most used servos during the World Championship, being the top choice 16% of the time. This is even more impressive considering that this model only fits on the X4. And again more impressive when looking at the XRAY drivers, 60% of these have chosen BR1 X4. The new BR1 X4, in addition to presenting itself in a celebratory packaging for the 4X World Champion titles, displays a new graphic, with 4 lasered stars on the product that commemorates not only the 4 World Titles won by these great drivers in Gubbio, but also the 4 World titles of Coelho himself.  The new BR1 X4 was produced in a very limited number, available for sale just in time to arrive in stores ready to be mounted on the new Xray X4’23.

Avid AE/TLR Arm Mounts C Wider

Avid has released new Wider C Blocks for the Associated B6.4 & B74.2 and TLR’s 22 5.0 & 22X-4. They are a must-have if you are racing on high bite surfaces such as carpet or turf. The mount frees up the vehicle in the turns and when landing jumps sideways such as corner tabletops. Typically, to get to the low rear toe settings that you need on carpet, you must start narrowing the pills through the D Mount which is increasing side bite by decreasing your trackwidth. The C Arm mount prevents that from happening by widening the C pivot block, thus starting you at 1 deg of rear toe with centered pills on the C and D mount instead of 3.
