T.O.P. Sabre FD Mini

Sabre-FD-Mini-1

Coming soon from T.O.P. Racing is the Sabre FD Mini chassis based on the successful Sabre FD 1/10 scale FWD touring car. The gear driven M-type chassis features a carbon fibre chassis plate, a red anodised bulkhead and motor mount and the power is transferred to the front wheels using a ball differential. To make use of most of today’s M-type body shells the chassis allows for short M05-class or longer Japanese standard mini class wheelbase settings by simply flipping the rear suspension arms and upper bulkhead covers.

Xray RX8 Ultimate Racing Springs

XrayRacingSprings

Xray release their new line of Ultimate Racing Springs for front and rear shock absorbers. All feature the same thickness wire with the stiffness being controlled by the number of coils. Softer springs with lower “C“ value have more coils whereas stiffer springs with higher “C“ value have fewer coils. They come black coated and the top of each spring is laser engraved with spring size for quick and easy identification. Available as a pair of C7.0 to C10.0 front and C5.0 and C5.6 rear springs, each one is individually measured, controlled, inspected and matched to provide identical damping characteristics. Also available is a progressive C9.0 spring marked as 7-9 that feature a progressive rating from 7.0 to 9.0 while being compressed, making the car steer better at the beginning of the corner, and resist rolling in the middle of the corner because the spring becomes harder. Recommended for medium-high traction tracks.
