T-Works XB8’18 carbon fibre rear chassis brace plates

T-Works have introduced two carbon fibre rear chassis brace plate sets for the Xray XB8’18 and ’17 kits. The plates are available in a thick 2.0mm and a thinner 1.5mm variant and they are used to sandwich the rear composite chassis brace in order to reinforce the rear area of the chassis which can be beneficial in smooth, high-grip track conditions. The thicker 2.0mm plates give maximum rigidity while the thinner 1.5mm plates allow for slightly more flex. Both variants are available separately, they feature small grooves to make disassembly easy and they come including suitable mounting hardware.

Arena 30mm & 40mm cooling fan ducts

Coming soon from Arena are cooling fan ducts for 30mm and 40mm motor fan units. The carbon fibre reinforced ducts will be a direct fit for the Infinity IF14 and Xray T4 cars but it is understood that they will be usable with a range of other chassis also. Using the ducts will greatly improve the fan’s cooling performance as the air is guided towards the motor can, doing away with the need to use scrap-built polycarbonate ducts or the like.
