Leadfinger XT8 truck body

Leadfinger has teamed up with RC America and Ty Tessmann to redesign a one-of-a-kind truck body that is specially fit for the Xray XT8. With this there are no extra holes or cutlines to navigate when cutting out the body. By request Leadfinger has also lengthened the back of the cab into the bed of the truck allowing for more room of the oversized air filter. The rest of the styling remains the same form the popular original. To mount the body, use the single post from the XB8 buggy and raise it using a longer screw and 5mm spacers. This allows it to be the lowest sitting body in its class and is why it has been become a preferred tuning option by Ty Tessmann and the Xray team. This body is available from RC America, Leadfinger Racing and its trusted dealers for purchase. The new truck body for the Xray XT8 comes clear and ready for paint. Window masks and grill/ headlight stickers are included.

RC Maker X4 carbon option parts

RC Maker have produced more new carbon items for the Xray X4, starting with this GeoCarbon floating front servo mount plate. It offers the ability to float the steering off the chassis, removing any interference with chassis flex. The bonus of this, is it’s also possible to lower the whole steering rack in the car by installing shims under the bellcrank posts and removing them from the steering arm (to maintain the same bump steer). RC Maker clam that this lowers the whole centre of gravity of the car, yielding faster response and more agile handling.

Xray XB4 composite 6° C-hub

Xray have produced this graphite moulded composite C-hub for right & left steering block on the XB4 & XT4. The specially-formulated graphite composite material is a perfect balance between reliability and performance. With the caster pre-set at 6° the roll centre position can be quickly & easily adjusted by inserting different thickness shims atop the caster block, between the block and vertical ball stud. This graphite C-hub is suitable for most track conditions, especially for high- and very-high-traction tracks. Large openings allow for quick & easy assembly/disassembly of the CVDs meaning the entire CVD assembly can be easily inserted/removed through the C-hub without the need for disassembly. The large openings also prevent jamming of the CVD within the C-hub during serious crashes.
