LCG Racing T4’20 SFX Conversion chassis

LCG Racing have introduced this new aluminium chassis for the Xray T4 2020 SFX Conversion which features a stepped decrease of cutout width from front to rear. This makes the chassis softer in the front and stiffer in the rear which they claim makes the car smoother at corner entry and more stable on power while increasing steering through the corner. The chassis is designed with reduced width at the droop screw area to decrease scrubbing and, therefore, increase corner speed and only includes long suspension arm holes to improve strength and optimise flex characteristics. The black anodised aluminium chassis is made from high quality 7075 Aluminium and comes laser engraved with the LCG and SFX logos.

Xray XB4 2021 1/10th 4WD buggy kit

At this stage we have all seen the in depth video presentation from Xray on the design and production of their new for 2021 XB4 4wd buggy. Now that we know what went into making the car, we finally get to see the final results of all that work. The XB4 is an evolution of their World Championship winning buggy platform and for the first time the car will be available in either carpet or dirt editions. The main focus seems to have been around the front and rear horizontal split design bulkheads, which allow for the adjustment of the differential height in the car. The ability to make this adjustment, necessary for the switch between dirt and carpet, has meant changes needed to be able to be made to the central drivetrain angle and height. Longer front and rear central drive shafts and shortened pinion gears offer up improved drivetrain efficiency and both shafts are connected by an all-new multi-adjustable slipper clutch with independently adjustable front/rear slippage. new shock bodies, shock towers, a tweak free quick battery holder and body shells complete the main areas of focus.

Nathobuilds XB2’20 & YZ-2 DTM3 battery straps

Nathobuilds expands their line-up of battery straps with the introduction of versions for the Xray XB2’20 and the Yokomo YZ-2 DTM3 2wd buggy. While both versions are made from carbon fibre, the Xray version uses a different system with upper tabs to keep the battery in place, while the Yokomo version instead uses 2 large o-rings. Both versions offer a range of adjustability in terms of battery position within the mount and both kits include all fasteners required to complete the conversion.

Axon wheel hub axles for BD10, T4’20 & TRF420

Axon in Japan have produced these new wheel hub axles for the BD10, T4’20 & TRF420. Designed to dramatically improve traction, they do so on all 4 wheels by integrating the wheel hub with the car’s own axle shaft to create a direct connection from the drive shaft to the tires. Having the wheel hub axle now run on the bearings requires that the bearings of the front knuckle and rear hub be changed from a 1050 to 1060. The new bearing size, along with the smaller gap between the bearings due to the use of a smaller spacer between, further reduces rolling resistance as well as load on the bearings.

Rebellion-RC T4’20 Crossflex V2 aluminium chassis

Rebellion RC have introduced an updated version of their Crossflex chassis for the Xray T4’20. New on the V2 aluminium chassis is that all the holes for short arms have been removed which leads to a narrower rear end which in turn improves on power behaviour due to less chassis/ground contact.

LCG Racing SFX motor mount carbon brace

LCG Racing offer this new carbon brace for their Yokomo BD10 and the Xray T4 2020 SFX conversion kits that helps to further stiffen the motor mount longitudinally. The carbon brace makes the motor mount more rigid and also doubles up as a battery stopper with increased area. Additionally by minimising flex the longitudinal stiffness helps with corner speed and give the car a more direct response. The lightweight brace is made of high quality carbon fibre, features the engraved SFX logo and comes in either the SFXY Yokomo or SFXX Xray version.

RC Maker T4’20 carbon hub extension plates

RC Maker have developed some beefed up extension plates for the Xray T4’20 alu steering hubs. They have also integrated an M3 pressed insert which completely does away with the nut on top of the arm. There’s specific versions for front and rear to maximise strength in each position whilst ensuring required clearance from hubs/wheels. Compared to stock the new plates are thicker at 3mm and have the inner link position removed, while the new profile of the arm has increased strength and flex.
