The ultra-flexible spacers are made from 0.4mm material and they can be used alone or stacked to heights of up to 1.2mm in order to lift the top deck to the preferred height. Doing so is understood to ultrafine-tune the flex characteristics of the car. The pack includes eight spacers and it is available soon.

Machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and coming orange anodised the bearing cams are a direct replacement for the standard composite parts. Due to being made of metal, they offer improved precision and free-up the drivetrain for less friction losses which is especially helpful in stock racing classes. The cams come in sets of two.

Xray have introduced the 2018 edition of their 2016/17 EOS winning XB4 1/10th 4WD buggy kit. The car, that also is reigning IFMAR World Champion, EFRA European as well as US Champion, received some subtle updates to better cope with the rigours of today’s ultra-competitive Modified racing. First up is a redesigned chassis that accommodates a new, lower motor mount to lower the overall centre of gravity. The corresponding centre bulkhead lowers the position of the centre drivetrain for higher corner speeds especially on high-bite surfaces while the updated side guards add to the all-new low CG setup. In the suspension compartment, improved lower bushings for the shock absorbers allow for smoother and more precise shock shaft movement. The 2018 kit is rounded out by updated front and rear differential crown gears whose greater precision leads to quieter operation and increased reliability.
