Coming from Xray and made for the T4 line of touring cars are orange driveshafts caps. Moulded from a heavy duty composite material the C-shaped caps offer improved wear characteristics and a low resistance and they are usable with the ECS and the standard CVD driveshafts. The 3.5mm thick parts are available in sets of four pieces and they are made for the use with the Multi-Diff and both steel or alloy outdrives.

Marka Racing have introduced an aluminium front body post plate for the MD Racing MDF14, Xray X1 and other cars. The plate allows to use front wings of different brands without having to worry about the position of the front body mount post as it remains the same due to the plate, and with it the front body post, being attached to the front bulkhead. The plate is machined from 7075-T6 aluminium, it comes black anodised and in a variant for the MD Racing MDF14 as well as a general part suitable for Xray, Yokomo and many other chassis.

Coming from Exotek and made for the Xray XB4 series of buggies are 12 degree C-hubs. They are machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium for improved rigidity and come polished and black anodised for a factory look. Laser-etched marking help with easy identification of the parts that add to the already existing 9 degree variants made by Exotek.
Mon-Tech Racing from Italy have introduced a range of aluminium option parts for Xray’s X1 formula car in the form of a main chassis plate, a rear lower pod plate and a wing support plate. Starting with the chassis and the rear lower pod plate, the parts are CNC-machined from 2mm aluminium with the chassis being 3mm wider in the centre area where the suspension links attach to the chassis. Both parts come black anodised and with laser-etched MT logos. It is understood that the somewhat stiffer parts make for improved handling especially on high-bite surfaces. Also new is a 3mm thick wing support plate that makes for more rigidity of the rear pod. Machining of the centre section reduces the overall weight and the part allows to lower the wing up to 6mm.
The Xray Work.Shop Italy will be held on the 7th and 8th of March at the Hot Race Track in Teverola, Italy. Xray’s Alexander Hagberg and Nicola Marrone will introduce the forthcoming NT1’16 1/10th scale 200mm nitro touring car in an exclusive pre-release and they will also be doing some track testing with the latest incarnation of Xray’s World Championship winning platform.

Xray have introduced a range of heavy brass lower A-arm mounts made for the T4 line of touring cars. 3-times heavier than the standard aluminium parts they help to add 30 gram of weight without the need to use unsightly wheel balance weights while also allowing for easy weight distribution changes. Using the mounts in the front can help to reduce traction roll on high-traction surfaces while the rear parts improve rotation and steering, making them ideal for medium traction conditions. The suspension holder are available as front FF (11.5g), front FR (11.7g), rear RR (11.0g) and rear spilt 2-piece ARS mount (10.8g in total).
Following the 7075-T6 aluminium main chassis set for the Xray X12’16, Reflex Racing also introduced a specific variant for the RR12V2 as well as an alloy chassis for the Xray T4 line of touring cars. Starting with the RR12V2 alloy chassis kit, the set includes a black anodised and strategically milled chassis that ups the weight of the car by roughly 20g which in turn can be reduced by using lightweight electronics, screws and accessories. The chassis was developed to bring the centre of gravity as low as possible and it also includes a matching, thin carbon fibre rear lower pod plate.
Available soon from Reflex Racing is the RSD aluminium chassis conversion kit for the Xray X12’16 1/12th scale pan car. Cut from 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised and with machined silver edge details the chassis weights roughly 80 gram so the car will be around 20 gram heavier than in stock trim but the use of lightweight electronics, screws and accessories will help to bring the car near to minimum weight again to achieve maximum performance. Include in the chassis set, that was designed to bring the car’s centre of gravity as low as possible, is also a thin lower pod plate to match the chassis’ reduced thickness. The conversion kit will become available by mid-March.
