RC-Cox T4 shorty battery brass weight set

Coming from RC-Cox and made for the Xray T4 series of touring cars is a shorty battery brass weight set. Designed for the use with RC-Cox own and the original Xray adjustable battery mounts, the brass weights add weight when using shorty type battery packs while also ensuring easy mounting of the battery locators and hold-downs. The weights are of a stackable design, allowing to add up to 79g of weight in total. The set is usable for the 2019 down to the 2016 variants of the T4.

Xray T4 adjustable battery holders

Xray have introduced their new fully adjustable battery holders for the T4 touring car. Their design allows to move the batteries front and aft by 4mm as well as left and right in order to fine-tune the car’s weight balance. The battery mounts do away with the need to run the battery tape under the chassis, instead it is run as a loop which prevents the chassis from becoming tweaked while also ensuring a more secure battery pack mounting and optimised chassis flex. The battery holding system is available in a lightweight carbon fibre and aluminium variant as well as a heavier brass and carbon fibre version, the latter adding 7.5g of weight which comes in handy when running lightweight battery packs.

RC-Cox T4 adjustable battery mount

Made for Xray’s T4 touring car platform is RC-Cox’s new adjustable battery mount. Constructed from carbon fibre and black anodised aluminium, the battery mount allows to shift the battery pack forth and back as well as left and right in order to achieve a proper weight distribution with both low and high weight LiPo battery packs. Carbon fibre tabs locate the battery, doing away with the need to use fibre-reinforced tape and allowing the battery to slightly float which does away with unwanted chassis tweak. The set is usable with the 2016 to 2019 variants of the T4.

Xray RX8 1/8th nitro on-road kit

Xray have introduced the latest variant of their popular RX8 1/8th scale nitro on-road kit. The machine underwent some changes especially at the rear end, in order to improve overall traction. First up is a new, narrower main chassis plate that retains the front shape of the previous model but that became slimmer in the centre and rear section. The rear bulkheads are spaced 8.4mm closer to each other, while the rear arm mounts move the inner suspension pins 2.5mm closer to the centre line which, combined with the bulkhead placement, generates more rear traction and improves the stability of the car.
