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 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.

Coming from Xray and made for their GTX8 nitro and GTXE electric 1/8th scale GT kits is a C-hub front suspension conversion set. The C-hub suspension is suited for most standard track conditions and makes the car more responsive while increasing steering, resulting in faster lap times. The C-hub suspension also reduces tyre wear with the caster being easily adjustable in a ±2 degree range using various optional caster blocks.
Coming from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand is a FWD chassis conversion kit for the Xray T4 touring car. Developed for the use with 2019 down to 2013 variants of the ultra-popular touring car, the conversion includes a new single-piece machined aluminium motor and servo mount with integrated flex adjustments, an ultra-precise stainless steel main shaft, a new servo bridge for optimised servo positioning, a newly developed slider steering assembly, and two types of battery mounts for easy balance adjusting. Also included are the machined spur gear mount and centre pulley, and a unique rear body stay mount that utilises Xray X1 caster inserts to allow for easy body height adjustments. The conversion kit is available including a carbon fibre or Rebellion-RC’s signature CrossFlex aluminium chassis, the latter allows for easy weight balance and torsional flex adjustments using optional brass inserts. To suit pretty much all versions of the pre-2020 T4 chassis, the conversion is available with three different shock tower specifications.

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.
