Made for the RX8 and MRX5 are lightweight front oneway steel axles. Again the parts are hard coated to maximise durability. Also new are high temperature silicone engine gaskets for .12 and .21 engines. The durable purple-coloured parts make for a tight fitment of the manifold and pipe to avoid performance losses caused by insufficient sealing.

Xray release their new line of Ultimate Racing Springs for front and rear shock absorbers. All feature the same thickness wire with the stiffness being controlled by the number of coils. Softer springs with lower “C“ value have more coils whereas stiffer springs with higher “C“ value have fewer coils. They come black coated and the top of each spring is laser engraved with spring size for quick and easy identification. Available as a pair of C7.0 to C10.0 front and C5.0 and C5.6 rear springs, each one is individually measured, controlled, inspected and matched to provide identical damping characteristics. Also available is a progressive C9.0 spring marked as 7-9 that feature a progressive rating from 7.0 to 9.0 while being compressed, making the car steer better at the beginning of the corner, and resist rolling in the middle of the corner because the spring becomes harder. Recommended for medium-high traction tracks.

The aluminium front anti-roll bar mounts for the Xray RX8 allow you to adjust the anti-roll bar independently from down stop setting, so that both settings do not interfere. The new parts also allow for wheelbase adjustments as the anti-roll bar mounts move together with the front arms, and wheelbase adjustment shims that can be added either in front of the anti-roll bar, to shorten the wheelbase, or behind the arm, to lengthen the wheelbase. The parts are CNC-machined from Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium.
