RDRP Ultra vented slipper pads

The new Ultra vented slipper pads from Revolution Design Racing Products are made of high-quality fibreglass and their updated design with a smaller inner diameter makes for more precise slipper action adjustment and exceptional durability. In addition the slipper stays more consistent over the whole run for less performance fading and more confidence in modified racing. The plates come in a set of two and they are available in three variants for standard Team Associated and Yokomo-style slippers, for the Team Associated VCS slipper clutch and also as variants for Xray and Kyosho buggies.

Xray XB4 2.5mm 7075-T6 aluminium main chassis

Coming from Xray and made for the XB4 4WD buggy is a 2.5mm 7075-T6 aluminium main chassis plate. The part is machined from high-quality alloy and its design and material used improves the torsional stiffness which results in improved car control especially on high bite to very high bite surfaces. The chassis is usable without the upper braces and it lowers the overall centre of gravity while machined pockets make for a low overall weight.

Xray GTXE 1/8th electric GT kit

Xray have introduced their new GTXE 1/8th electric GT kit as addition to the already released GTX nitro GT car.

The chassis was specifically designed for the electric variant in order to provide optimised chassis flex, weight balance and a clean overall design.

The chassis also received a new shape which leads to improved front tyre clearance.
