Zero Tribe introduce new T4 Mid & BD9 Mid chassis parts

Coming soon from Zero Tribe are new carbon fibre main chassis and upper decks for their Xray T4 Mid and Yokomo BD9 Mid mid motor conversions. Both the HT chassis and upper decks are of an updated design that provides increased straight line stability, making the cars easier to drive. The chassis are of a refinded shape for optimised flex and they feature machined sections around the middle bulkhead area, allowing to retain the upper M2 bulkhead screws for increased pitch stiffness while the cut-outs ensure optimised torsional flex for improved traction. As for the updated HT upper decks, these will become available in 2.2mm, 2.0mm and 1.65mm variants to fine-tune overall chassis flex.

Avid T4’20 2.5mm ULP lower shock towers

Avid have announced the release of their new ULP lower shock towers for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. The towers are made from 2.5mm thick 100 percent premium hard carbon fibre and they allow to run the kit shocks in the lower arm position for those high bite tracks where getting tippy is a problem. Also, due to using thinner 2.5mm hard carbon fibre the shock stays maintain their stiffness but lose some weight since the point is to lower the CG with the shocks. The shock towers are available separately or as set.

Xray T4’20 low ULP graphite shock towers

Coming from Xray are their new low ULP graphite shock towers for the T4 2020 touring car. Lower than the kit front and rear shock stays, the -3.5mm height shock positions allow to access the optional low lower shock mounting positions on the front and rear arms which can make the chassis roll less in high-grip track conditions, allowing for an easier to drive car in chicanes while improving steering response at the same time. Due to these characteristics the low shock setup is recommended especially for medium to high grip, technical carpet tracks. The shock towers are machined from 3.0mm carbon fibre and they are available separately.
