Made for the 2018 variant of their successful X1 1/10th formula pan car platform is Xray’s new 2.0mm carbon fibre chassis. Thinner than the standard 2.5mm chassis, the 2.0mm variant is best used on low to medium grip asphalt tracks as it offers more flex which results in increased rear traction. The chassis is intended for the use with the #371149 graphite rear pod plate.

Coming from Xray and made for the XB8 range of 1/8th off-road buggies is the new 5-dots progressive front spring. The hardest in the range so far, the spring is best used on high traction tracks were it can improve corner entry steering. Specially developed the progressive spring will become more linear under compression for excellent feeling and feedback in all track conditions. It comes as pair, marked for easy identification and inspected and matched for best possible accuracy.

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced three sets of lower titanium shock screws for the Team Associated B64, as well as the Xray XB2 and XB4 series of buggies. The high-quality fasteners do away with the standard steel screws and they are of a shouldered design that only has threaded sections where they are needed, while areas to which the lower shock eyelet bushings attach are of a plain design for improved durability. The screw heads are also unique in the way that they feature dual 2mm and 5.5mm hex sections that allow to use 2mm hex or 5.5mm nut drivers to fasten or loosen the screws. Included in the sets are two front and two rear shock mounting screws.
Coming from Xray and made for the XB4 series of 1/10th 4WD off-road buggies are medium hardness chassis side guards. Softer than the “H” parts the medium compound side guards allow for increased chassis flex which helps with overall side bite on very low traction tracks. The set includes a left and a right hand chassis guard and it is available now.

Xray have introduced an aluminium progressive shock system for the ultra short ULP shock absorbers of the T4’18 touring car. Coming in pairs, the set includes two aluminium inserts and two blank shock pistons that provide a progressive damper action upon compression, something that is regarded as a must-have especially on asphalt tracks.

Made for Xray’s T4 2018 and 2017 kits is the new brass battery mount set from 7075.it. It includes aluminium battery braces and brass mounting brackets with the latter allowing to loop the battery mount tape through the brackets rather then having to route it under the chassis for improved safety when running on abrasive surfaces. The mounting system is usable on the ’17 and ’18 kits and it is available from end of this week.
