Vigor RC T4 RF+2 ARS suspension mounts

Coming from Vigor RC and made for the Xray T4 2018 and 2017 cars is a RF+2mm ARS suspension mount. The updated geometry makes for parallel suspension pins, rather than having them angled as it is standard, which results in improved rear end grip and smoother suspension operation when using the ARS system. In addition the pivot ball mount was lowered by 1mm for increased toe angle adjustability.

Vigor RC T4 adjustable battery mount

Vigor RC have introduced an adjustable battery mount for the Xray T4 series of electric touring cars. The multi-piece assembly utilises specially designed, eccentric inserts that can be turned around to place the battery pack in a front or rear position as well as in a more inward or outward placement. The carbon fibre battery brackets allow to wrap the mounting tape around them to do away with the need to route the tape on the bottom of the chassis for less chances to create a tweaked chassis, and chamfered edges reduce the chance of the battery tape being cut.
