Coming from 7075 Special Parts are three new centre chassis weights for the new Xray T4’19 touring car. Available as 30g, 35g and 40g variants, the weights are of a special design that does the chassis allow to flex, meaning they have as little influence in natural chassis flex as possible. In addition to adding overall weight at the most central part of the car the weights also act as a centre battery stopper. The weights start a new line of dedicated T4’19 optionals from 7075.it that will be released soon.

Coming from RC Mission and made for the Xray T4 series of electric touring cars are the rear hub upper blocks, clever alloy caps that prevent the ball studs from breaking the hub in the event of a crash.

The caps can be flipped to use either the inner or outer ball stud mounting position and they are available as 2mm or 4mm variant, the latter resembling a setup with additional ball stud spacers.
