Xray XB8 -2mm front shock bodies

Coming from Xray and made for the XB8’20 1/8th off-road buggies are new 2mm shorter front shock bodies. Using the shorter shock bodies allows to access the lower row of upper shock mounting positions of the front shock tower which is considered a good setup for high-speed tracks. CNC-machined from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium the oversized big-bore shocks have an 18.5mm outer diameter and 16.0mm inner diameter, and they sport a precision-machined thread for convenient spring preload adjustment. The shorter shock bodies need to be used with 59mm shock shafts and they come in sets of two.

Rebellion-RC T4F mid-motor conversion kit

RC-Carbonstore have announced the release of their Rebellion-RC mid-motor conversion kit for the popular Xray T4F FWD touring car. Designed for the use with the now redundant T4F 2019, the conversion utilises the design and all of the features of Rebellion-RC’s successful T4 FWD mid-motor conversion with a new upper deck and front shock tower being the most important updates. The front shock tower uses the T4’19 geometry, making for a lower centre of gravity compared to the T4F with the front body mounts being attachable in two different ways – the same as on the T4F or in a regular “4WD-ish” fashion with the body posts mounted to the front bumper. The conversion allows to use all of the existing option parts such as shock springs, anti-roll bars, lower arms etc. and the design enables the owner to convert the car back into a front-motor FWD in case track conditions call for it. The kit will become available including a carbon fibre or CrossFlex aluminium chassis and it includes all needed parts minus the required Xray off-set spur gear.

Xray T4F’21 FWD touring car kit

Following a couple of teaser images Xray have finally unveiled the latest edition of their successful T4F front-wheel drive touring car.

It also means the FWD car shares about 90 percent of parts with its 4WD family member, making stocking parts a lot easier. As for the design, the T4F 2021 features an all-new central drivetrain that moves the motor and layshaft to the centre of the car to improve on/off power stability and to generate more traction.
