Torpine 1/10th on-road brass screw kits

Coming from Torpine are their new brass screw kits for a range of current on-road touring and FWD cars. The fasteners, intended for the use in the lower areas of the chassis, are precision made from high-quality brass material and due to being heavier than standard steel screws, they help to lower the overall centre of gravity of a car while adding a certain weight. Available are a 52-piece kit for the Xray T4’20, a 39-piece kit for the Xray X1’20, a 59-piece kit for the Awesomatix A800MMX, a 54-piece kit for the Awesomatix A800FX, a 51-piece kit for the Serpent SF4 and a 44-piece kit for the ARC R11F. Also available are 8-piece sets of M3x5mm, M3x10mm and M3x12mm countersunk head screws.

Xray T4’20 ARS Active Rear Suspension set

Xray have announced the release of their new ARS Active Rear Suspension set for the T4 2020 mid-motor touring car. The set was developed especially for the latest variant of the T4 and its design makes for a controlled toe-in change of the rear wheels as the chassis rolls during cornering, allowing to adjust the behaviour of the car by fine-tuning over or understeering. The result is an improved handling in a variety of conditions and thus quicker lap times if set up correctly. The set includes zero degree aluminium C-hubs, moulded hard composite steering carriers as well as all needed mounting hardware.
