Coming from Xray are adjustable front wings for the X1 formula car. Available in black or white colour the wings utilise 2-flap or 3-flap add-on segments to fine-tune the aerodynamics and thus the front downforce of the car. The ETS-legal wings fit Xray’s own X1 and also many other formula cars.

Xray are ever expanding their range of 64 pitch touring car main gears with the latest addition being a 99T variant. Strategically lightened to reduce rotating mass and coming made from a special hard-compound material, the offset design gear will last long while being very quiet at the same time.

Vigor RC have introduced a range of carbon fibre parts for the Xray T4 2018 touring car kit. Available now are a 2.25mm and 2.0mm carbon fibre main chassis as well as 2.0mm and 1.6mm top decks, with the thinner chassis and top deck being best suited for low grip conditions. Also available are 3.0mm carbon fibre front and rear shock towers. All parts are CNC-machined from high-quality carbon fibre.
Xray have introduced new, lowered front suspension mounts for the T4 touring car. Machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium and coming orange anodised the mounts lower the hinge pins by 0.5mm compared to the kit parts for a higher roll centre setting and thus increased steering and traction in low to medium traction conditions. The 1-piece suspension hangers use the original composite suspension pin inserts and they are available separately.
Xray have introduced the 2018 variant of their EOS and US Championship winning XT2 1/10th 2WD stadium truck kit. The main difference from the previous version is the inclusion of both carpet and dirt-specific gearbox setups in the kit, allowing to built the truck for high and low grip conditions right out of the box. Included are both laydown and standup gearboxes, a gear differential for high-grip and a ball diff for low-grip surfaces, as well as hard and medium compound suspension plastics, carbon and composite rear shock towers, and also two battery brace setup, upper brace mounts and a composite gear cover. Also part of the updated package is a new, short front chassis brace that allows to mount graphite chassis side guards to adjust chassis flex and an updated outer steering link mount increases reliability. The kit is rounded out by new lower shock absorber bushings for more precise shaft movement, new shock O-rings for better sealing and shock performance as well as new suspension pin washers that prevent the pivot shafts from moving. The kit will hit stores very soon.

Xray have added a 30T aluminium front/side pulley to their line of option parts for the RX8 1/8th on-road kit. Machined from Swiss 7075-T6 aluminium and coming hard-anodised for wear, the 30T pulley will improve rear traction and steering in high-speed corners and it adds to the existing line of Xray’s RX8 aluminium and composite drivetrain pulleys.

Following the introduction of the AME aluminium top deck for the Yokomo BD8, Ruddog now also announce the release of a T4 2018/17 specific part. Offering reduced torsional flex compared to carbon fibre parts the upper deck will generate a completely new on-track characteristic similar to an aluminium chassis but it is easier to change while also adding a whole new look to the car. Using the top deck will make for a smoother and easier to control car in a wide range of track conditions while also improving corner speed and it is usable on both the 2018 and 2017 edition T4.
Xray have announced the soon release of the GTXE, the electric-powered variant of the GTX 1/8th nitro GT car. No official details are available yet but we are keeping you posted.
