T-Works have announced the release of several option parts for the Xray XB4 2020 buggy. First up is a titanium turnbuckle set that replaces the standard spring steel spanners. Machined from lightweight yet durable 64 grade titanium the turnbuckles will reduce overall weight while adding visual impact. Included comes a suitable turnbuckle wrench for easy building and setup. Next up is a 64 grade titanium ball end set that is made to replace the standard steel balls for parts of lower weight. While scrubbing a good amount of weight the ball ends also add a bit of bling to the buggy. Also new for the 2020 edition of Xray’s World Championship winning buggy is a hard-coated aluminium suspension ball end set. The 8-piece set will lower the overall weight with the hard-coated surface treatment ensuring high durability and smooth suspension movement. Made to ensure a smooth drivetrain action is a 22-piece rubber and metal-shilled precision ball bearing set. It includes all needed ball races as direct replacements for the standard rubber-shielded bearings. The range is rounded out by a 104-piece UFO head titanium and a 124-piece gold-colour steel screw set.
RC-Cox have introduced their new long arm only carbon fibre chassis for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. The original T4’20 chassis offers the possibility to run the new-for-2020 long arm or pre-2020 standard short suspension arms, with the RC-Cox chassis only allowing the long arm setup, scrapping the optional arm block positions which makes the chassis more durable in the event of a heavy impact. The main plate is machined from high-quality 2.2mm carbon fibre and it is available from now on.

Bezerk from Australia have announced the release of new carbon fibre option parts for the Xray XB2 2020 buggy. First up is a beefed up front tower that has material added in strategically placed areas in order to improve rigidity. The shock stay mimics the standard suspension geometry and it is available in 3.0mm, 4.0mm and 5.0mm glossy carbon fibre.
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.

The 18-piece set is a direct replacement for the standard steel parts.

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.
