Xray XB8 graphite PB steering block & rear upright LB

Xray have introduced new graphite composite PB steering blocks and rear uprights for the XB8’19 buggy. The lightweight yet strong parts utilise a new graphite composite material that ensures free suspension movement in dusty conditions while also offering increased stability and corner speed on high to very high bite tracks. Both parts are designed for the use with larger 8x16x5mm outer ball bearings for increased reliability and life-span with the front pivot ball steering block being usable for the XB8’19 while the rear upright also fits the GTX8 and GTXE. The parts are non-directional meaning hey are usable both on the left and right hand side of the car and they are available separately.

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.
