RC Maker T4’20 floating electronics weight plate

RC Maker have introduced their new floating electronics weight plate for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. The plate puts weight where it is needed most, to get the car up to he minimum weight and balanced. The set includes a carbon shim which floats it 0.5mm off the chassis from near to the centre of the car, meaning the plate itself has minimal to no impact on the flex of the chassis. On top of the plate, there is a 10g of brass weight to secure it in place. The plate attaches to the often unused antenna mount hole. If drivers still want to use this antenna mount, they can use an extra long screw through the lower weight, and thread the antenna mount on-top. The plate itself is 1mm thick and weighs in at 12g. The set coming in at 22g is a brilliant way to meet the limit, balance the car and have no impact on the flex characteristics of the chassis at the same time. Another added bonus, is owners can change chassis or clean the car, and simply remove the receiver, transponder and fan simply by undoing one screw. If drivers are after more weight for the car, RC Maker have a 1.5mm option plate available weighing in at 20g which can either replace the 1mm plate to bring the overall weight up to 30g, or added to the 1mm plate to make a total of 2.5mm, bringing it all the way up to 42g. The set comes packaged in a high quality black magnetic lid box with RC Maker logo on a clear front window, ensuring the plate is kept in perfect condition in transit.

SpeeDome-RC T4 2020 carbon fibre bumper brace

Coming from SpeeDome-RC is a carbon fibre bumper brace for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. Machined from 4mm high-quality material the bumper brace will protect the front of the chassis in the event of a crash as the part will brace itself against the front bulkheads, ensuring only minimal movement of the lower front bumper mount and thus taking away stress from the very front of the chassis. The CNC-machined bumper brace includes two M3x10mm titanium screws and it is a direct fit.

Vigor T4 2020 low shock position shock towers

Vigor have introduced carbon fibre shock towers for the Xray T4 2020 that allow to access the optional lower shock mounting position. The shock towers feature updated geometries with lower upper shock mounting positions that allow to use the low lower shock mounting positions on the long arms of Xray’s all-new T4 2020 touring car. Using this setup will further improve handling in high to very high-bite track conditions as the lower mounted shock absorbers will lower the overall centre of gravity which helps to settle the ride.

Xray unveil X1 2020 formula pan car

Xray have lifted the curtain and official introduce their X1 2020 1/10th scale formula pan car kit. The 2020 version of the IFMAR World Cup winning car features a host of updates such as a redesigned independent rear wing mount that is now lighter, stronger, and more durable all while having less flex, resulting in improved overall aerodynamics. The all-new rear bulkheads were redesigned to work with the new independent wing mount system, allow to lower the diff position by 0.5mm for greater range of ride height adjustment, with the left bulkhead being redesigned to eliminate bending problems in crashes. The car is based on an all-new chassis -that allows to adjust the wheelbase of the front suspension. The chassis features three wheelbase alternatives with a standard wheelbase and +/- 4mm settings. Other new features include a new front stand that reinforces the front part of the chassis, a redesigned top deck supports the new wheelbase settings and a new graphite backstop for the battery better supports cross chassis alignments. Another valuable update is a keyed 1-piece aluminium link mount plate holder that provides a solid base that will not move even during hard kits. The kit is already shipping and will hit stores by the time you are reading this.
