7075.it T4’20 new design brass receiver holder

Coming from 7075.it and made for the Xray T4 2020 mid motor touring car is their redesigned brass receiver and transponder mount. Machined from heavy brass material and weighing in at 33g the mount attaches to the original Xray aluminium and carbon as well as 7075.it’s optional alloy chassis using a single screw, ensuring the mount will have virtually no influence on chassis tweak also thanks to a built-in 0.5mm shim that spaces the mount away from the chassis. An incorporated nose acts as an inner battery stop and the updated version of the mount now offers a 29.5x25mm platform for the receiver, allowing to mount larger units.

7075.it T4’20 LCG high traction aluminium chassis

7075.it have announced the release of their new LCG high traction aluminium chassis for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. The full face chassis offers limited torsional flex compared to 7075.it‘s LCG chassis and is ideal for very high traction conditions where it can help to settle down the reaction of the car while countering traction rolling. The chassis offers two milled pockets in the steering area that allow to attach optional brass weights in the lowest possible position, ensuring an overall lower centre of gravity and thus improved cornering in high grip conditions. The chassis comes black anodised, with machined silver edge details and it is available separately or including two brass balance weights.

Bezerk T4 slim pack battery hooks

Bezerk have introduced their new slim pack battery hooks system for the Xray T4 range of electric touring cars. The battery retention system was designed for the new generation of slim battery packs, like the Sunpadow slim pack, that help to bring all the weight closer to the centre of the car, especially compliments the newer generation of lighter ESCs and motors and still retain weight balance. The battery posts are located as close to the side of the battery as possible to reduce the stress on the upper retaining tab. The 5mm thick carbon fibre battery hooks are beefy enough to take a beating and high enough to keep the battery in its place. The mounting holes are slotted to allow a small amount of left/right adjustment. The 3mm carbon fibre upper tabs look minimal in size but due to their placement are more than up to the task. The kit is usable with the 2020 down to 2017 variants of the T4 and it includes two battery hooks, two battery tabs and two black alloy hex standoffs. Other options include shorter standoffs for very low batteries and are also available in silver.

RC-Cox T4’20 carbon fibre bumper brace

PPM RC Racing have introduced the RC-Cox carbon fibre bumper brace for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. Machined from quality carbon fibre the brace sits atop the upper bumper plate and will touch the front bulkhead in the event of a crash, limiting the bumper’s movement and thus preventing the chassis from getting damaged. Included with the brace comes a pair of shims that make the brace float at the correct height.
