Xray XB4’20 large volume centre differential set

Coming from Xray and made for their XB4 2020 1/10th scale 4WD buggy is a large volume centre differential set. Using the diff will increase traction on slippery track while also improving car handing over bumpy sections where it helps to absorb bumps better. The larger oil volume prevents the diff from overheating, extending its lifespan. The super-smooth gear diff set includes a composite case and cover with exchangeable spur gear. The set includes a 81T spur gear with a range of sizes being available to fine-tune the gear ratio. The internal gears are precision-moulded from tough composite material, ensuring long lifespan and super-smooth, efficient operation.

Xray T4’20 1.6mm carbon fibre upper deck

Coming from Xray and made for their all-new T4 2020 mid-motor touring car kit is a 1.6mm carbon fibre upper deck. Thinner than the kit top deck the 1.6mm variant is best used in combination with the aluminium flex or solid chassis as it allows for a softer overall chassis setting compared to the 2.0mm part which helps especially in lower grip conditions where a softer setting can improve steering and rear side bite. Like the original top deck the thinner variant is fully symmetrical and usable with the rear ball bearing or bushing chassis stiffeners to further fine-tune the overall chassis flex.

Xray XB4’20 multi wheelbase aluminium chassis

Coming from Xray and made for the XB4’20 is a multi wheelbase aluminium chassis. Machined from high-quality 2.5mm 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised for surface protection the chassis allows to use two different wheelbase settings, a shorter one for increased car rotation in corners on high-grip tracks while the longer wheelbase setting, that shifts the rear bulkhead towards thew rear, increases stability in low-traction conditions. The chassis also features strategically placed milled-out section to achieve the desired flex characteristics without harming overall stability.

Xtreme Racing T4’20 carbon fibre front bumper holder

Xtreme Racing have introduced their new carbon fibre front bumper holder with brace for the Xray T4’20 touring car. Machined from high-quality 2.0mm carbon fibre, the upper bumper plate was designed to contact the front bulkhead to prevent the chassis from breaking during impacts. The bumper holder was designed to use the stock body mounts and does not work with the offset body posts.

Xray T4’20 graphite centre layshaft pulleys

Xray have introduced their new graphite-reinforced centre layshaft pulleys for the T4 2020 mid-motor touring car. Specially formulated and moulded from a graphite reinforced material the pulleys are of a distinctive orange colour and they offer reduced friction and thus increased performance especially when racing in limited-power stock racing classes. Coming in sets of two the pulleys fit the T4 2020 only.

Rebellion-RC T4F Crossflex chassis & shock towers

Rebellion-RC have released first teaser images of their forthcoming new Crossflex aluminium chassis and update carbon fibre shock towers for the popular Xray T4F FWD touring car. Starting with the chassis, it is machined from high-quality aluminium and features Rebellion-RC’s signature Crossflex technology that allows to add brass inserts for the lowers possible centre of gravity while enabling the drivers to fine-tune chassis flex by using different amounts of screw to tighten down the inserts. The chassis alone weighs in at 98g with the fully brass’ed up variant weighing in at 164g. The design of the chassis allows for three different battery positions such as front right inline, centre transversal and rear transversal – the latter has been made possible thanks to additional carbon fibre “wings”. The chassis seen here is a prototype with the actual main plate coming black anodised and laser-engraved.

Xray XB2 rear anti-roll bar set

Coming from Xray and made for their popular XB2 series of off-road buggies is a 1.0mm rear anti-roll bar set. Gearbox-mounted the swaybar helps to plant the rear of the vehicle in high-grip racing conditions, making for faster cornering and quicker lap times. The set includes all needed hardware including a 1.0mm anti-roll bar wire with thicker wires, for the use in higher grip conditions, being available separately. The set is usable for the XB2’20, XB2’19, XB2’18, XB2’17, and XB2’16.

IGT8 1/8th on-road DAO Drag Assisted One Way kit

IGT8 have introduced their new drag assisted one way kit for 1/8th scale on-road cars. The system works with silicone oil to increase the internal friction that slows down the motion of the front wheels when being off throttle. This effect will improve braking, steering at corner entry and it will also help with more consistency and faster lap times. Tested extensively by the IGT8 team, the DAO was officially debuted last weekend at the 2019 US Nitro Cup with great results as Paolo Morganti took the TQ in the 1/8 class and Rafael Angulo finished 3rd while Ricardo Garri won the Master class. The system is available for ARC, Capricorn, Infinity, Mugen, Xray and Shepherd cars with a variant for Serpent kits coming soon.
