Reflex Racing RX4-16 chassis & T4 shock towers

Coming from Reflex Racing and made for the Xray T4 touring car are the RX4-16 quasi carbon fibre chassis and 4mm carbon fibre shock towers. Starting with the chassis plate, the RSD RX4-16 was developed for the Xray T4 and it is made from RSD’s own quasi isotropic 2.0mm carbon fibre for more rigidity, translating into increased response, grip and a lower centre of gravity over the stock unit. The shape profiles for the chassis have been developed over the past year with a focus to provide a more consistent car feel and less tyre overheating over a run. The design moves the flex to the bulkhead areas which results in a car that rotates faster and harder all while maintaining a higher level of grip. Additionally the chassis has been made completely symmetrical so that the left to right flex of the car can be equalised as much as possible.

RSD T4 hardened spool outdrives & 30mm fan mount

Reflex Racing have introduced hardened SKD-11 tool steel blade-less spool cups for the Xray T4 and a universal fan mount for the Xray T4 and Yokomo BD7-2016. Starting with the spool cups, the parts are machined from tool-grade SKD-11 steel, usually used to cut carbon steel and stainless steel, so these cups are made to last while being smooth and super-tough. On top of this the cups look pretty trick too and they come in packs of two.

RSD RX12 2017 aluminium chassis conversion kit

Reflex Racing have introduced the all-new RX12 2017 aluminium chassis conversion kit for Xray’s X12 1/12th scale pan car. Made to maximise the performance of the ’14, ’15 or ’16 specific car to match the higher grip conditions of today’s carpet racing, the kit is designed around a transverse-specific 2.0mm 7075-T6 aluminium chassis and 2.0mm quasi-isotropic carbon fibre lower pod, which has been designed to lower the CG of the car to the max, by using thinner material and slightly heavier hard-anodised 7075-T6 Thyssen Krupp aluminium alloy for the main plate. The kit gives the option of a revised, rearward centre shock position, allowing for quicker steering response and reduced body roll, or the traditional Xray X12 shock placement. Additionally, the conversion also includes a revised motor position that shifts the motor 2mm to the right for better side to side pod balance and the wheelbase has been reduced to 200mm for better entry and mid corner steering. Lastly, in order to move the shock further back, a revised servo mount plate is included in the kit to take advantage of the revised geometry by moving back the front mounting position as well. The chassis comes hard-anodised in black with silver chamfered edges for the premium look people dig these days.

Reflex Racing introduce new TC7 & TC6.2 options

Reflex Racing have new option parts for the Team Associated TC7 and TC6.2 touring cars available. First up is an alloy chassis for the TC7 that was custom designed around the latest AE Platform to maximum performance especially on the new CRC and ETS black carpets. The chassis moves the flex points away from the centre of the chassis and towards the bulkheads for more rotation, steering and stability which translates into faster lap times and a more consistent car that is also easier on tyres over a full run. The chassis is now also narrower, allowing for lower ride heights and less rubbing on the newer CRC Carpet which calls for higher ride heights. The 81mm wide chassis is cut from 7075-T6 ThyssenKrupp aluminium alloy, it includes carbon fibre battery brackets and mounting hardware.

RSD RR12V2 & T4 aluminium main chassis

Following the 7075-T6 aluminium main chassis set for the Xray X12’16, Reflex Racing also introduced a specific variant for the RR12V2 as well as an alloy chassis for the Xray T4 line of touring cars. Starting with the RR12V2 alloy chassis kit, the set includes a black anodised and strategically milled chassis that ups the weight of the car by roughly 20g which in turn can be reduced by using lightweight electronics, screws and accessories. The chassis was developed to bring the centre of gravity as low as possible and it also includes a matching, thin carbon fibre rear lower pod plate.

RSD X12’16 aluminium chassis conversion kit

RSD X12'16 aluminium chassis conversion kit

Available soon from Reflex Racing is the RSD aluminium chassis conversion kit for the Xray X12’16 1/12th scale pan car. Cut from 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised and with machined silver edge details the chassis weights roughly 80 gram so the car will be around 20 gram heavier than in stock trim but the use of lightweight electronics, screws and accessories will help to bring the car near to minimum weight again to achieve maximum performance. Include in the chassis set, that was designed to bring the car’s centre of gravity as low as possible, is also a thin lower pod plate to match the chassis’ reduced thickness. The conversion kit will become available by mid-March.

RSD Roche P12 floating servo conversion chassis

Reflex Racing have introduced the floating servo conversion chassis for the Roche P12 1/12th scale pan car. The conversion kit maintains the stock geometry of the P12, while adding optional holes to install longer Xray side links as well as Reflex Racing’s popular floating servo mount. On top of that the chassis is made from 2.5mm quasi isotropic carbon fibre, so it is more rigid than the kit version for more consistency in high-bite conditions.

Reflex Racing RR12V2 1/12th scale pan car kit

Following the recent introduction of the RSD RR12V2 conversion kit, Reflex Racing now also released information on the RR12V2 full kit. The car is based on a new chassis made of 2.3mm quasi weave carbon fibre for improved stiffness, a lower weight and a lower centre of gravity. An updated pod geometry with the pivot 2mm further forward provides more corner speed and less lift while allowing for more aggressive settings. Also new is the battery securing systems that provides tape-less transverse of inline mounting of the 1S pack. Another new feature is a revised side spring placement with optional, more in board positions to aid in a softer roll control for high bite conditions. Lastly, the new front end is Reflex Racing’s icing on the cake. A new, light weight double A-arm front end is included in the kit. This system is incorporating a suspension system that is 10 to 15g lighter than the traditional AE front ends, it is easier to adjust and versatile enough to run as a double A-arm or traditional reverse McPherson strut. The car will be offered in two trims, as full kit minus electronics, wheels, tires, servo saver and fluids and also as full conversion including RSD front end. The latter needs a donor car for diff, tubes, shock, and ball ends.
