Coming from Arena and made for the Xray T4’19 touring car is a 2.3mm carbon fibre chassis plate. Cut from high-quality material and being 0.1mm thicker the plate offers increased stiffness, making it ideal for medium-high traction asphalt and carpet tracks. In addition the chassis is also meant to be more durable due to being thicker.

Coming from Fenix and made for the Xray X1 1/10th scale formula chassis are several new option parts.

The set includes a carbon fibre servo mount and a front battery/shock absorber plate, two aluminium turnbuckles and necessary mounting hardware.
Xray have introduced the 2019 variant of their popular XT2D 1/10th scale 2WD stadium truck. To offer a maximum of versatility the kit includes all parts to run the truck in “high grip” front motor or “low grip” rear mid motor specification with the two differing in terms of gearbox, motor plate, camber link mount, rear shock tower, waterfall and battery retainer. New to the 2019 kit are narrower gearboxes for both layouts as is a new ultra-smooth ball differential for improved performance and longer intervals between rebuilds. The new multi-functional rear uprights generate increased traction and stability while the rear arms allow to mount the shock absorbers in the front or the rear of the arm – ensuring greater control over the weight bias for different track conditions. New rear aluminium suspension mounts are included to match with the updated gearboxes and the driveshafts now feature 2.5mm pins for increased durability and smoother operation. The included body allows to run the rear shocks in a front or rear placement without any changes to the body shell and also part of the 2019 specifications are hard front steering blocks, +1.5mm front and +4.5mm offset rear wheel hubs and new larger rear upright ball bearings. Standard with the 2019 kit, that will hit stores very soon, are also greased upright ball-bearings and oiled bearings throughout the transmission and steering.
