Xray XB2 steering knuckle Ackermann plates

Xray have introduced new steering knuckle Ackermann plates for the XB2 2WD buggy. Adding to the standard “long” plate are middle and short plates that help to fine-tune the Ackermann angle during cornering. While the standard “2-slot” plate creates a mild steering response the optional 1-slot and 0-slot plates make for a more aggressive steering feeling with the short 0-plate being the most aggressive, making it ideal for tight and technical tracks. The plates are cut from 2.5mm carbon fibre, they come in pairs and are usable both on the left and right hand steering knuckle.

Japanese company TRG have introduced a new roll damper with multi-piece piston for their line of 1/10th formula conversion kits. The damper makes use of a machined aluminium body and a multi-piece piston that is made up using bushings of different length and diameter. A shouldered, O-ring equipped delrin bushing on each end reduces oil or grease loss to a minimum compared to the standard 1-piece piston. The damper fits the current TRG114 and also the older TRG112, TRG111 and TRG109 conversion kits.

RPM Team Durango & Arrma 1/8th wing mount

RPM have introduced wing mounts for Team Durango’s and Arrma’s latest 1/8th off-road vehicles such as the DEX8, DEX8T, DNX8, the Kraton, Typhon and Talion. The parts solve the breaking issues associated with the original mounts where primarily the front cross brace holes are cracking. RPM’s solution was to eliminate this hole in favour of a flat plane of solid nylon and on top of that the entire mount builds a curve to help add some impact flexibility during a crash. When running normally, the massive amount of material keeps the wing locked in place, providing stable down force on the rear of the vehicle. The wing mounts contain the support bars only and will require the use of the stock Team Durango or Arrma wing, two stock cross braces and stock mounting hardware.
