7075.it T4 2020 aluminium & brass optionals

7075 Special Parts from Italy have introduced first option parts for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. First up is a low centre of gravity aluminium main chassis that allows for easy placement of balance weights using single screws. Machined cut-outs enable the racer to position optional brass weights which not only adds to the overall appearance but the weights are also secured in a much safer manner compared to just using tape to securing them to the chassis. The main plate comes machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium, it sports a black surface coating for wear and it is available separately or including a set of low-profile brass balance weights.

Rebellion-RC T4 FWD conversion – Coming soon

Coming soon from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand is a FWD conversion kit for the Xray T4 touring car. It allows to convert the ultra-popular touring car platform into a competition mid-motor front-wheel drive machine, breathing new life into older specification “rear motor” chassis, now that mid-motor 4WD touring cars are the latest trend. The kit will include a combined motor and servo mount, a rail-type steering assembly, alloy centre pulley and your choice of a carbon fibre, aluminium CrossFlex, or aluminium solid chassis. A prototype of the car already showed its potential at the recent second round of the Mibosport Cup when Werner Spannbruckner steered his Rebellion-RC converted T4 to a popular win. Full information about the conversion will become available in time of the release which is scheduled for beginning to mid of December.
