Xray XT8 1/8th nitro truggy kit

Xray have introduced their new XT8 1/8th nitro truggy kit. The kit builds on the proven XT8 platform but features refinements in the suspension and chassis area. First up is the new front suspension geometry with updated C-hubs and steering blocks. The latter are of an new design with interchangeable Ackermann plates and moulded-in threaded bushings for the kingpin screws. New to the “2019” model are also updated C-hubs to accommodate the updated steering blocks as well as CV-design driveshafts front and rear to replace the previous universal-type shafts. The chassis was updated to work with the included “soft” radio tray which is the best solution for low to medium bite track while an optional hard radio tray is available when running on high bite surfaces or in high ambient temperatures. For the rear of the truck, Xray have included a new lightweight 1-piece wing mount that is about 40 percent lighter for a lower centre of gravity and optimised overall weight balance. A new wing mount brace helps to prevent gearbox breakage as it connects the wing mount and chassis braces that help to transfer impact energy towards the chassis. Also part of the kit is an updated 7075 alloy shock rear shock tower to accommodate the new rear wing mount, updated rear uprights with larger outer bearings make for improved reliability and upgraded shock absorbers with soft compound bottom-ribbed volume compensator membranes help with suspension efficiency. The kit is rounded out by new aluminium clutch shoes as well as 2.6mm front and 2.8mm rear swaybars.

RPM Typhon 4×4 3S BLX rear arms

Coming from RPM and made for the Arrma Typhon 4×4 3S BLX is a set of replacement rear A-arms. RPM’s versions are more adjustable, more durable and 5g lighter than stock. The designers added a second shock mount to the outside of the original stock shock mount, adding adjustability and improving trackability. The outer shock mount lowers the ride height, increasing stability on all surface types. A lower ride height also means faster corner speeds. Moulded from engineering grade nylons, the arms are a lot more durable than the standard parts with the redesigned shape of the A-arms helping improve survivability during severe bashing. The rear arms come in sets of two and they are a direct fit.
