Arrowmax BB DJC driveshafts

Arrowmax introduce their new ball-bearing ‘BB’ DJC driveshafts. The double jointed driveshaft provides high performance characteristics over standard blade-type driveshafts. Featuring ball-bearings in the drive cups, the pin slides in perfectly to reduce free-play and thus increases longevity. The reduced friction also helps to increase acceleration and cornering speed. Available for the Xray T4 (52mm & 53mm), the Yokomo BD10 and Serpent X20 they come in a set and drive cups will be included.

RC Maker T4 & BD7 HRP towers & A800 brass shim plates

New from RC Maker come these GeoCarbon adjustable HRP (Horizontal Rear Post) shock towers for the Xray T4’20 (standard and low -3mm) and Yokomo BD10. These face your rear body posts backwards, and feature 1.5mm staggered holes for body height and rake adjustment. This system lowers the centre of gravity and increases body stability and downforce transfer from the wing directly into your shocks and tires creating a more stable car with increased corner speed. Additionally they also have released a new GeoCarbon front shock tower for the Yokomo BD10 to match and look the part. Next up are there popular roll centre shim plates for the Awesomatix A800, but made from brass. These are a great way to add weight down low and shift it front to rear on your car when using Long Arms. They also make changing your roll centre easier than ever, simply loosen the screws, slide the plate out and the new plate in and re-tighten. These are available in a set of 4 (2 front & 2 rear), and in 4 of the most common roll centre settings of 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 2.8mm. Their set weights vary from 6g to 9g depending on the thickness you choose.

LCG Racing T4 2020 forward servo mount

This forward servo mount by LCG Racing, included in the SFX conversion, is now available separately for the Xray T4 2020. It fits the standard car as well as the SFX conversion and increases the stiffness of the front of the chassis. By decreasing the flex in the front, the car is more direct on corner entry, can provide more corner speed and makes the car easier to handle in medium-high to high grip conditions. The lightweight design of the aluminium part retains its rigidity while the design of the carbon fibre upper plate aims to minimise weight further.

LCG Racing have introduced new wide variants of their SFX conversion top decks.

With a decrease in flexibility, this increases corner speed and overall stability while making the car easier to drive. The wide top decks are available for the SFX converted Yokomo BD10 and Xray T4’20 and they are available now.
