Xray T4 aluminium lower suspension arms

Coming from Xray and made for the T4 series of electric touring cars are all-new lower aluminium suspension arms. The wishbones are made of high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium, they are of the standard 1-hole geometry and are best used in very high grip conditions such as permanent carpet tracks. Due to their construction arms hardly twist under load and thus scrub less speed in corners while making the car easier to drive at the same time compared to the standard composite arms. The A-arms come in pairs and are available separately for the front and rear of the car or as complete set including all four wishbones.

JConcepts re-release the T4.3 Finnisher body

JConcepts is bringing back the Finnisher style stadium truck body shell for the T4.3 Qualifier Series vehicle by Team Associated. The body has been updated to include pre-dimpled locations for the body mounts and the the slight cab forward, raked windshield and aggressive stance highlight a performance oriented core. A revised front hood scoop allows plenty of clearance for the unique geometry while smoothing out the front down force area. Front chin spoiler, headlight and grill protect the front-end from unwanted up-drafts during flight while the supplied decals stand-out like an 18 wheeler. The body comes clear, including window masks and decal sheet and it fits the T4.3 and T4.1 trucks but, from what is understood, not the T4.2 due to the truck’s different front suspension setup.
