Xray XB8 series alloy monoblock engine mount

Coming from Xray and made for XB8-based kits is an aluminium monoblock engine mount. The part provides a solid engine mounting base and easier gear mesh adjustment compared to split engine mounts. The keyed mount design allows for the easy removal and replacement of the engine without the need for gear mesh re-adjustment after every replacement. The ultra-strong construction provides a longer life-span and durability in even the most extreme racing conditions. Aluminium engine stands for different engine brands are available separately. The monoblock engine mount fits kits such as the XB8 2016 and later, GTX8 cars and the XT8’17 truck.

PPM RC Racing have introduced the new RC-Cox 22.5g centre chassis weight for the Xray T4 2018 and 2017 kits. Made from brass and coming with a shiny finish and a laser-etched RC-Cox logo, the weight looks cool and is easy to install, all while helping to add overall weight when needed. The part can help to gain traction in low-grip conditions and it also acts as a battery stopper, ensuring the LiPo pack will not make contact with the front belt.

Xray XB8 series 2-way flow Delrin shock pistons

Xray have announced the release of their new 2-way flow Delrin shock pistons for the XB8 series of buggies, XT8 trucks and GTX on-road kits. The moulded pistons are of a special design with an additional rubber valve closing two of the given holes on up travel for increased pack of the dampers during compression. When the shock piston moved down again the rubber valves opens the two holes for quicker extraction. The result is increased stability upon landing or when tackling very rough terrain while the suspension returns quicker into normal ride height even when using a somewhat soft setup. The 2-way pistons are available in sets of two and as 5-hole, 6-hole or 8-hole variant and in the following specifications that you can view after the break.

Xray RX8E electric conversion set

Xray have introduced their all-new RX8E electric conversion kit for the RX8 1/8th on-road car. The kit allows to swap power trains in a matter of minutes by simply replacing the radio tray and rear layshaft bulkhead. The kit was developed for the use with two 2S Shorty LiPo packs, a standard-size 1/8th scale electric brushless motor and a compact 4S LiPo compatible speed controller and it includes a new 2.5mm carbon fibre radio plate, an alloy motor mount, spur gear and pinion adapters as well as a new centre shaft and various small parts. Thanks to the included adapters the drivetrain utilises the main gears and pinions of the RX8 nitro car meaning there is no need to buy those parts extra, making gear ratio adjustments a breeze. The conversion kit is usable with the RX8’18 and also the older specification ’17 and ’16 cars and it will hit stores very soon.
