Xray have introduced the 2017 variant of their successful NT1 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road kit. IFMAR World and EFRA European as well as multi-time national champion, the NT1 has proven to be very successful in the past with the 2017 variant again offering many refined areas over radical new designs and so the car is based off of a slightly updated aluminium main chassis that features larger cut-outs in the front and reinforcements in the rear for updated flex characteristics while a mirrored flywheel opening makes for equal left-to-right flex.

Schelle B64 carbon fibre rear gearbox shims

Schelle Racing Innovations have introduced a carbon fibre gearbox shim set for the Team Associated B64 buggy. Made from 1mm sheet material the shims are used separately or even stacked to raise the rear gearbox and suspension mounts as a tuning option for certain track conditions. Raising the assembly can lead to a more responsive rear end and more entry and mid-corner steering. Strategic cut-outs prevent backwards differential installation and the shims only work on the rear suspension.

7075.it T4 battery mount system & centre brass weights

Italian company 7075.it have introduced new option parts for the Xray T4 series of touring cars in the form of a battery mount system and two centre brass weights. Starting with the battery mounts, they utilise new brackets that incorporate slots for the mounting tape, doing away with the need to use the respective chassis slots which results in reduced chassis tweak and also a more secure battery mounting as there are less chances to damaging the tape during a run. The brackets are included as lightweight 9g aluminium and heavy 20g brass blocks which gives the possibility to adapt the weight bias and overall weight. The brackets can also be mixed for even greater influence on the weight distribution and to top things off they also use adjustable stops to shift the battery pack forth and back by about 3mm. The alloy parts come black anodised and laser-etched for wear and looks.

Active Hobby Products wide flange M4 wheel nuts

Japanese company Active Hobby Products have introduced their new wide flange M4 wheel nuts for 1/10th on-road and off-road cars. Offering an increased diameter of 11.3mm, compared to the 9.6mm of most flanged M4 nuts, the parts allow for a more secure wheel fitment while also reducing wobbling issues associated with small diameter nuts. At 5mm they are also thicker than many fasteners and a serrated back section grips into the wheel’s surface for greater security against unintended loosing than standard nyloc nuts. The wheel nuts come in sets of four, in the five colours of black, blue, red, orange and silver and due to their diameter they may not fit all wheels on the market.
