X Factory Quick Change battery kit

X Factory, responding to input from customers, releases a kit to allow faster removal of the batteries from the X-6 Squared and X-60 without damaging the chassis. Chief Engineer Paul Sinclair said, “Many team members live and race in places where LiPo batteries must be removed from the car for charging. Also, many who use cells instead of LiPo want to remove them to charge or store. The X-6 Squared’s CF battery strap is held in with flat head screws which go into posts in the chassis. Constant installation and removal of these screws will damage the threads in the chassis, and this new kit eliminates the problem. Many owners of the X-60 truck have converted from the Kit-supplied nuts to thumb screws, but that will not work for the X-6 Squared because the body sits too low. The new Quick change kit contains four 1” long set-screws that can be installed in place of the standard bolts with an Allen driver and four low-profile locking nuts which are just low enough to clear the buggy’s body.”

Hot Bodies Megabite Pinks & T-Dish Wheels

Hot Bodies have released their Megabite mini-pin tires in a pink compound which are suitable for hard & dry off-road surfaces such as hard-packed clay, light dust conditions, and regular clay. With hundreds of short square pins arranged around the carcass providing fantastic traction on the corners and a central double-row of extra-wide treads giving you excellent acceleration and stopping power. The pink compound is their new extra soft compound for extra grip in low traction environments. HB’s new T-Dish yellow wheels utilize the maximum diameter allowed under the current rules and regulations. This makes for quicker response from the tires due to less sidewall flex. Their specially formulated plastic offers the perfect balance between rigidity and pliability, giving them impact resistance and flexion in the jumps and bumps yet maintain rigidity in the corners.
