Xray T4 adjustable battery holders

Xray have introduced their new fully adjustable battery holders for the T4 touring car. Their design allows to move the batteries front and aft by 4mm as well as left and right in order to fine-tune the car’s weight balance. The battery mounts do away with the need to run the battery tape under the chassis, instead it is run as a loop which prevents the chassis from becoming tweaked while also ensuring a more secure battery pack mounting and optimised chassis flex. The battery holding system is available in a lightweight carbon fibre and aluminium variant as well as a heavier brass and carbon fibre version, the latter adding 7.5g of weight which comes in handy when running lightweight battery packs.

RSD TC7.2 aluminium flex chassis

Reflex Racing have introduced the new RSD hard-anodised aluminium flex chassis for the Team Associated TC7.2 touring car. The chassis was developed to be used in conditions of high grip asphalt, hHot weather and low to medium bite carpet. The shape and design of the cut outs on the chassis allow it to flex considerably more than Team Associated’s alloy chassis along the centre and bulkheads and the hard anodising prevent the chassis from bending too easily. When used with the RSD Spec top deck the TC7.2 will flex even further than with the stock unit and make this chassis a viable alternative to carbon on asphalt under almost all conditions. The main plate is made in the USA from premium Thyssenkrupp alloys and locally anodised.

RC-Cox T4 adjustable battery mount

Made for Xray’s T4 touring car platform is RC-Cox’s new adjustable battery mount. Constructed from carbon fibre and black anodised aluminium, the battery mount allows to shift the battery pack forth and back as well as left and right in order to achieve a proper weight distribution with both low and high weight LiPo battery packs. Carbon fibre tabs locate the battery, doing away with the need to use fibre-reinforced tape and allowing the battery to slightly float which does away with unwanted chassis tweak. The set is usable with the 2016 to 2019 variants of the T4.

Yokomo Racing Performer 5500mAh LiHV battery

Coming from Yokomo is their latest addition to the Racing Performer line of batteries, the Ultra 5500mAh HV SLCG pack. The high voltage battery utilizes highest performance 140C silicon-graphene technology cells to provide higher power, more speed and acceleration. The super low centre of gravity pack measures 138x46x20mm and it weighs in at 235g. Compared to the conventional LCG battery, it provides an even lower CG and allows racers to add steel or brass weights under the battery for keeping the weight as low as possible, allowing the chassis to perform better, especially on high-grip surfaces. The pack will hit stores at the end of April.
