Xray GTX8 2021 1/8th nitro GT kit

Xray have introduced their new GTX8 1/8th scale nitro GT kit. The 2021 variant of the IFMAR vice-World-Championship and EFRA vice-European-Championship winning car builds on a redesigned and reinforced aluminium chassis whose rear section was reinforced for less on-power flex, which increases the stability of the car and ensures improved on-power control. The new chassis was also redesigned to fit both the soft and hard composite radio boxes without modification.

Xray XT4 2021 4WD stadium truck kit

Xray have introduced the 2021 variant of their XT4 1/10th scale 4WD stadium truck. The latest incarnation of the XB4-based vehicle feature a new, longer main chassis for improved stability while new narrow front and rear suspension mounts make for an updated suspension geometry that provides increased overall traction. To accommodate the new suspension hangers, the front and rear gearboxes have been narrowed to ensure proper clearances. The drivetrain sees the addition of new front, centre and rear diffs that offer an increased oil volume for better consistency in long mains and all-new differential crown and pinion gears, CNC-machined from Hudy spring steel, ensure improved lifespan and reduced noise. Also part of the drivetrain package are new centre driveshafts with 2.5mm drive pins for increased efficiency while new, longer front and rear driveshafts round out the 2021 drivetrain package. Other features include an updated aluminium motor mount for easier pinion gear access, reinforced servo saver ports improve steering precision and a revised rear shock tower allows the attachment from both sides of the gearbox. The kit will hit stores very soon.

RC Maker introduce new T4’20 GeoCarbon optionals

RC Maker have introduced new GeoCarbon series option parts for the Xray T4’20 mid motor touring car. First up is the GeoCarbon steering brace that connects the top of the two posts of the steering to prevent excessive horizontal flex and bending under regular cornering force. Constructed from 1mm carbon with recessed areas, it is quite flexible to minimally alter longitudinal flex down the chassis. The result provides increased post rigidity with less force placed on the chassis holes and posts, as well as more consistent steering with marginally reduced front flex to increase steering response. These work with both aluminium and plastic steering bellcranks, and are also sized to cover the blue shields on the steering bellcrank bearings to keep things stealth.

Vigor T4F’21 multi-use rear shock tower

Vigor have introduced their new multi-use rear carbon fibre shock tower for the Xray T4F’21. The design with two additional rear body mount locations allows to move the horizontal rear body mount position up and down to fine-tune body rake and ground clearance while also accepting vertical body mounts for those who favour this “old school” kind of attaching the body. The rear shock tower is machined from high-quality carbon fibre and it is understood to match the kit suspension geometry.
