Xray Lexan 1/8th off-road lightweight rear wing

Xray have introduced their new lightweight Lexan 1/8th off-road rear wing. Designed as a direct fit on the XB8 platform the pre-cut wing greatly lowers the overall centre of gravity thanks to its low weight while the optional centre fins and the pre-bent wicker area make for optimised stability and downforce. The rear wicker area also does away with the class-standard composite gurney flaps while also greatly improving the overall stability of the wing. Moulded-in dimples for the wing mounting screws allow to mount the wing in different positions without the need to make any measurements and the wing is usable on all XB8 platform vehicles including the XB8, XB8E and XT8.

SMJ 1/8th GT wing buttons & body mount patches

Coming from SMJ are new aluminium wing buttons for 1/8th GT cars as well as body mount patches for 6mm body mount holes. Starting with the wing buttons, the CNC machined aluminium parts are available in a range of colours and using them will reinforce the wing mount area which leads to increased downforce while also making for some visual impact. The line includes red, black and gun metal anodised buttons that are also usable in other applications such as buggies and trucks. The second new body accessory are body mount patches. They offer a 6mm diameter inner hole and are best used on all freshly assembled bodies as they prevent the paint around the body mount hole becoming scratched while also reinforcing the area especially when using lightweight body shells. The pack includes ten pre-cut patches.
