7075.it T4 inner brass battery stop

Italian company 7075.it have introduced an inner brass battery stop for the Xray T4 touring car. Machined from heavy brass material and attaching to the right layshaft mount the part acts as a battery stop to keep the LiPo hardcase from hitting the pinion gear or motor shaft. On top of this the part adds valuable 45g of weight in a very central part of the chassis. Using optional shims between the battery stop and layshaft mount allows to alter the weight distribution with 7075.it recommending two 2.5mm shims as starting point.

SMJ T4’16 +5mm front bumper

SMJ T4'16 +5mm front bumper

Speedmaster Japan have introduced their new +5mm front bumper for the Xray T4’16. Offering additional 5mm of foam in the front, the bumper better suits front-mounted bodyshells while doing away with the need to glue additional foam strips to the standard bumper to achieve propper body support. On top of this the bumper is also made from a much stronger foam material, improving overall crash resistance and chassis protection in the event of a direct hit while the updated design also gives better tyre clearance at full steering lock. The bumper will hit stores very soon and it is understood that it also fits Xray’s latest T4’17 kit.
