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.

Coming from Xray is a 50g stainless steel battery weight for the XB2 and other 2WD buggies. The plate allows to add weight to the lowest point of the chassis, making for an improved and more forgiving handling especially in high-grip and bumpy conditions. The plate comes laser-etched for easy identification, it is placed between the chassis and the battery pack and usable in all vehicles whose battery compartments allow the use side-by-side saddle packs.
