Xray XB2 Dirt rear suspension conversion set

Xray have introduced the Dirt rear suspension conversion set for the XB2’18 Carpet spec buggy. The kit includes hard, wide rear XB4 suspension arms, medium composite rear hubs, a suitable RR suspension mount, +2.25mm wheel hex adapters, 71mm driveshaft dogbones, as well as a ball differential along the needed small parts and mounting hardware to convert the rear end of the Carpet specification car into a dirt shredding machine as it was used by the Xray factory team and Ty Tessmann at the recent Reedy Race of Champions. Using the set will improve rear traction and stability for somewhat lower grip dirt tracks.

Infinity IF14 1.6mm carbon fibre top deck

Infinity has released a new optional 1.6mm top deck for its IF14 electric touring car. Made from high quality USA-produced carbon material, it creates more chassis flex when compared to the kit standard 2.0mm top deck, leading to increased traction and greater initial steering response. The 1.6mm top deck offers the best results when combined with the IF14’s optional aluminium flex main chassis.

The piston rods are available as separate pairs for the front or the rear of the buggy, they are made of high-tensile steel material and are hand-ground for a super-smooth finish.

Roche Rapide F1 front body post mount

Roche have introduced a front body post mount for their Rapide F1 series of cars. Machined from aluminium and coming in a two-tone red and black finish, the mount is compatible with most front wings and since the front body post is fastened to the plate – and not the front wing – it is not necessary to use different body shells when swapping front wing brands. Included with the mount comes suitable mounting hardware.
