Arrowmax Medius T4 FWD conversion

Arrowmax is the latest manufacturer to release a FWD conversion kit for pre-2020 Xray T4 touring cars. Making use of their own Medius mid-motor mount design, the AM conversion allows to revive older spec T4 4WD chassis by scrapping the rear drivetrain and converting them into state of the art front-wheel drive tourers. The mid motor design ensures balanced handling, an efficient drivetrain and a lower overall centre of gravity. Included in the set is a new main chassis, a heavy brass front bumper mount, spilt upper decks, a new design floating servo mount as well as miscellaneous other accessories that allow for a full conversion. The chassis set is available in a carbon fibre chassis or an aluminium main plate variant, the latter is best used in medium-high to very high-bite track conditions.

Smokem Racing T4’20 MYD carbon fibre top deck

Following the release of Smokem Racing’s MYD top deck for the ARC R11 MID comes a design to suit the Xray T4 2020. The top deck is of a design that features a narrow 9mm front section which was found to deliver balanced flex characteristics despite the asymmetric design. The result is improved traction, increased in-corner steering and corner speed. The MYD design ensures the top deck will never make contact with the motor as the chassis flexes, with clearance for large-pinioned spec class gearing. The MYD top deck can also be easily removed, making spur gear and belt changes a breeze. The part is machined from high-quality 2.0mm carbon fibre and it is a direct fit.

RC Maker T4’20 carbon fibre floating electronics plate

RC Maker have introduced their Xray T4 2020 floating electronics weight plate in a carbon fibre variant. Weighing in at 12g for the set, 10g of that being close to the centre of the chassis with 2g being the carbon plate, the set is adding minimal weight to the motor side of the chassis. The plate attaches to the often unused antenna mount hole but if owners 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. Another added bonus is that the construction makes it easy to change chassis or clean the car as the receiver, transponder and fan are simply extracted by undoing one screw.

LapMonitor 1/10th 4WD buggy transponder mount

Coming from LapMonitor is a new transponder mount compatible with the Team Associated B74, Yokomo YZ-4 and Xray XB4 1/10th scale 4WD buggies. The multi-piece yet lightweight mount was designed to be attached to the centre diff top plate, placing the transponder emitter in front of the clear body window area. This ensures a perfect detection of the transponder signal by the LapMontor lap timer. The holder features also a hole for easy and convenient battery wire routing.

T-Works have announced the release of their new machined brass steering post set for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. Made to add about 5g of weight to the front of the chassis, the posts allow to fine-tune the overall weight balance without having to add additional weights. The posts come precision machined and with a black surface coating for wear and looks.

RC Maker T4’20 GeoCarbon shock towers

Coming from RC Maker are new GeoCarbon series shock towers for the Xray T4 2020 mid-motor touring car. Available for the front and rear of the car, the shock towers feature a dual-sided GeoCarbon finish and they are 3mm thick with a re-designed profile to introduce a marginal amount of flex, giving the car more traction, which is very often highly favourable for all asphalt racing, as well as low-medium traction carpet tracks. The towers are available mimicking the standard shock geometry and they also come as -3mm variant, allowing to access the new lower A-arm shock mounting position that can be an advantage in higher grip track conditions.

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.
