Yeah Racing release T4’18 high weave carbon fibre parts

Coming from Yeah Racing and made for the 2018 variant of Xray’s T4 touring car are several carbon fibre parts. Available are 2.25mm and 2.0mm main chassis plates, 2.0mm or 1.6mm top decks as well as front and rear carbon fibre shock towers all of which are made of high weave carbon that offers high stability for less deformation during high speed cornering. However, the thinner 2.0mm chassis and 1.6mm top deck are best suited for lower grip conditions as they are slightly softer compared to the 2.25mm chassis and 2.0mm upper deck. All parts are available separately and they can be used in either combination.

Xray T4 graphite & brass adjustable battery holder

Xray have introduced an adjustable graphite and brass battery holder for the T4 touring car. The design with adjustable carbon fibre clamps and adjustable brass fore and aft stops allows to precisely position the battery pack while adding 7.5g of weight at the same time. The construction allows to shift the battery in a range of 4mm in order to fine-tune the car’s weight distribution while the design of the battery mount eliminates any negative chassis flex.
