Xray have introduced their new 115mm rear universal driveshaft for the use with the XB8 1/8th scale buggy and the longer #351114 chassis. CNC-machined from sturdy Hudy spring steel the universal design ensures less binding and thus smoother suspension movement for improved rear traction. Strategically-machined, the lightweight driveshaft has been weight-reduced without compromising strength and it comes ground for maximum precision, individually measured and inspected. The shaft fits the XB8’20 and XB8E’20 with the longer #351114 chassis.

Xray have introduced their new NT1 2021 1/10th scale nitro on-road kit. The next generation of the 2-time IFMAR World Championship winning platform is of an all-black design, doing away with the signature orange design of it predecessors, leaving only some shock parts and details in the company’s house colour. New for the 2021 version is also an updated 2-speed carrier that features a heatsink design for more consistent shifting while the new lightweight drive flange lowers the drivetrain’s rotational masses. Also in the drivetrain area a new brake disc adapter is about 25 percent lighter, again adding to an overall increased drivetrain performance. The kit will hit stores very soon.

In addition the ECS driveshaft improves landing after jumps and it is also usable in the rear, where the driveshaft can increase overall traction. The construction uses 2.5mm cross pins for durability and the shaft set is available separately.

Xray have introduced their new universal mount for the T4 series of touring cars that can act as a fan mount and a battery backstop. Machined from aluminium and coming black anodised, the mount accommodates popular fan sizes including 30mm and 40mm but it can also be used as a battery backstop on the T4’20. The universal mount is installed on the bulkhead on the previous T4 version and on the motor mount on the T4’20 rather than the chassis to eliminate any tweak and to ensure no vibrations are transferred to the chassis. The part fits both the T4 series and the T4F’21 and it is available from now on.

Also available are battery hooks developed for the use with the latest generation of slim or narrow-type LiPo batteries. The hooks allow for a secure fitting of the battery, they are machined from high-quality carbon fibre and fit all T4 series touring cars.
