Teamsaxo Pro5 carbon fibre main chassis & upper deck

Coming from Teamsaxo and made for the HB Pro5 touring car is a new carbon fibre main chassis and top deck. The 85mm wide chassis is cut from 2.2mm material and it features a symmetrical design with the milled motor pocket also being present on the battery side for a more equal left-to-right flex. The design makes the chassis especially helpful in low-grip conditions with the 2.0mm top plate being usable in combination with the optional or standard chassis in order to provide different flex characteristics when needed.

Mon-Tech X1 SSS floating servo & steering system

Italian company Mon-Tech have introduced a special servo and steering mount for the Xray X1. The option part, called SSS which is for “servo, steering, suspension” is meant to allow better steering response, faster cornering and improved bump handling. Made from aluminium the brace takes both the steering servo and the steering bellcrank to connect them with the front part of the chassis using the upper camber and castor plate rather then attaching them to the main chassis plate, to create a “floating” design. The anodised aluminium brace comes including three alloy posts and the assembly is a direct fit on the X1.
