Xray XB8E 2019 1/8th E-Buggy kit

Xray have introduced their new XB8E 2019 1/8th scale electric buggy kit. Making use of most of the features the XB8’19 nitro buggy has to offer, the ’19 specification kit includes a 2-in-1 front suspension concept with the buggy coming both with a C-hub and a pivot ball design suspension, allowing to adapt the vehicle to a variety of driving styles and track conditions. The C-hub design was developed for the use on tight and smooth tracks whereas the pivot ball suspension can be an advantage in open and rough conditions. Part of the suspension package are also redesigned A-arms that are made for a harder material for improved response and stability while also ensuring smoother operation in dusty track conditions. Also new for the 2019 variant is a redesigned chassis that accepts both soft and hard compound radio trays without modification, helping to adjust chassis flex for different ambient temperatures. All-new rear uprights with larger outside ball-bearings make for increased reliability and life-span while featuring an extra hole for wider roll-centre adjustment possibilities. Other features include new cell shock membranes with reduced air gap for improved grip, matching upper shock caps with four venting holes as well as longer front and rear shock shafts as well as softer front and rear anti-roll bars for increased traction.

Xpress release new XQ1 & XM1 carbon optionals

Coming from Xpress are new carbon fibre option parts for the XQ1 and XM1 series of cars. First up is a graphite body post stiffener set for the XQ1 series of 1/10th touring cars. The carbon fibre plates will reduce body movement in corners for increased stability while the C-shape of the rear plate also reinforces the body’s trunk area, resulting in improved body support and thus downforce at high speeds. The set includes one front and one rear body post support and it is also available for the XM1 series of 4WD M-class cars. Also new is an optional graphite steering knuckle plate set for the XM1 and XM1S cars. The parts will make for a stiffer steering structure which in turn gives a sharper steering response and feeling. Owners will need to install a 2mm bumpsteer shim to get the same amount of bumpsteer as with the stock steering plate. The plates also feature an extra Ackermann mounting position that will increase the aggressiveness of the steering response, which is perfect for asphalt tracks.

Mugen introduce new MBX8 chassis

Coming from Mugen is an updated main chassis for the MBX8 1/8th off-road buggy. The chassis is updated in a way that the E2712 engine mount washers and SJG4x10 screws are now at the same height as the chassis, meaning they do not protrude which makes for more consistent gear mesh, and less chance of collecting dirt, rocks and other debris.
