RC-Mission T4 & BD7 aluminium rear wheel axle shafts

RC-Mission T4 & BD7 aluminium rear wheel axle shafts

Newly founded Japanese aftermarket company RC-Mission, brainchild of Propec’s Toshihiko Hara, has introduced its first option part in the form of aluminium rear axle shafts for the Xray T4 and the Yokomo BD7. Precision-machined from high-quality aluminium the shafts run ultra-true while offering a very light weight which can be beneficial especially in Stock class racing. The axle shafts are a direct fit on the T4 and the 2015 and 2016 variants of the BD7 with the 2016 spec car needing an additional 3×2.5mm grub screw for the driveshafts.

RSD RX12 2017 aluminium chassis conversion kit

RSD RX12 2017 aluminium chassis conversion kit

Reflex Racing have introduced the all-new RX12 2017 aluminium chassis conversion kit for Xray’s X12 1/12th scale pan car. Made to maximise the performance of the ’14, ’15 or ’16 specific car to match the higher grip conditions of today’s carpet racing, the kit is designed around a transverse-specific 2.0mm 7075-T6 aluminium chassis and 2.0mm quasi-isotropic carbon fibre lower pod, which has been designed to lower the CG of the car to the max, by using thinner material and slightly heavier hard-anodised 7075-T6 Thyssen Krupp aluminium alloy for the main plate. The kit gives the option of a revised, rearward centre shock position, allowing for quicker steering response and reduced body roll, or the traditional Xray X12 shock placement. Additionally, the conversion also includes a revised motor position that shifts the motor 2mm to the right for better side to side pod balance and the wheelbase has been reduced to 200mm for better entry and mid corner steering. Lastly, in order to move the shock further back, a revised servo mount plate is included in the kit to take advantage of the revised geometry by moving back the front mounting position as well. The chassis comes hard-anodised in black with silver chamfered edges for the premium look people dig these days.
