Xray XB2 3mm aluminium shock towers

Xray have announced the release of new 3mm aluminium shock towers for the XB2 range of 2WD buggies. Machined from 3mm high-quality 7075-T6 material the shock towers are of an updated design with the front shock stay’s outer line being a tad smaller than the carbon part while retaining the standard shock geometry. The rear tower underwent a greater redesign with the inner shock mounting hole removed and an additional outer added. Also the shape is slightly different and a new lower wing mounting position has been added. The towers will improve drivability and precision when running on high-bite tracks and they are available separately from now on.

ZooRacing Hellcat 190mm touring car body shell

ZooRacing from Germany is busy adding more groundbreaking 190mm touring car body shells to their line-up with the latest creation being the Hellcat. The goal was to create a more efficient body with advanced aerodynamics that allow for aggressive cornering and yet a nailed rear end. This was achieved by using a long front section with splitter that sits 10mm further forward while a round-shaped outer line ensures a smoother transition when changing directions as the air flows smoothly and constantly over the front splitter, fenders and grille. In addition to the splitter the windshield and cabin also sit 10mm further forward with the whole section being shaped like a drop for maximised rear grip and stability thanks to optimised airflow towards the rear wing. Smooth transitions from the hood over the cabin towards the rear lid ensure optimised aerodynamic efficiency and thus less turbulences and drag, which leads to equal front-to-rear balance at both low and high speeds.
