Xray XB8 series super-lightweight brake discs

Xray have introduced their new precision-ground super-lightweight brake discs for the XB8-based series of kits. Made from high-quality material the brake discs offer a super-low weight without sacrificing strength or durability while their vented design ensures consistent braking performance and less fading issues even in long mains or when running in high ambient temperatures. The precision-ground discs also operate vibration-free and they are usable on the XB8 buggies, XT8 trucks or GTX8 on-road cars.

Exotek roll out new X1 & F6 optionals

Coming from Exotek are several new option parts for the Xray X1 and Team Associated F6 formula car kits. First up is a rear carbon fibre spool axle, usable on the X1 and F6. The extra lightweight carbon fibre and 7075 aluminium clamping spool set utilises a 1/4” rear axle design such as for the X1, F6 and also the Roche cars. The spool helps eliminate “diffing out” of the rear pod on extra high grip black carpet conditions and gives the car more corner exit speeds. The spool also greatly reduces the weight compared to a gear diff or standard ball diff for a cooler running motor and increased acceleration. The sturdy design eliminates any holes in the shaft for increased shaft durability and the spur gear mount keys directly into the supplied right side wheel clamp and makes for easier gear swaps as well. Also the right side wheel clamp uses 2-screws-style clamping which requires less force on the screws for better clamping force. The conversion requires a standard pan car ball diff type spur gear and the standard left side clamping hub.

Xray XB8E 2019 1/8th E-Buggy kit

Xray have introduced their new XB8E 2019 1/8th scale electric buggy kit. Making use of most of the features the XB8’19 nitro buggy has to offer, the ’19 specification kit includes a 2-in-1 front suspension concept with the buggy coming both with a C-hub and a pivot ball design suspension, allowing to adapt the vehicle to a variety of driving styles and track conditions. The C-hub design was developed for the use on tight and smooth tracks whereas the pivot ball suspension can be an advantage in open and rough conditions. Part of the suspension package are also redesigned A-arms that are made for a harder material for improved response and stability while also ensuring smoother operation in dusty track conditions. Also new for the 2019 variant is a redesigned chassis that accepts both soft and hard compound radio trays without modification, helping to adjust chassis flex for different ambient temperatures. All-new rear uprights with larger outside ball-bearings make for increased reliability and life-span while featuring an extra hole for wider roll-centre adjustment possibilities. Other features include new cell shock membranes with reduced air gap for improved grip, matching upper shock caps with four venting holes as well as longer front and rear shock shafts as well as softer front and rear anti-roll bars for increased traction.
