Xray RX8 graphite suspension arms

Xray have introduced new graphite suspension arms for the RX8 1/8th on-road car. Moulded in a special graphite composite material the arms are significantly harder than the standard parts, making them ideal for high to very high grip tracks and also high ambient temperatures. Due to being less flexible the suspension parts make for a more precise handling and improved traction. Available are front and rear upper and lower arms with all parts being symmetrical, allowing to use them on both sides of the car.

Active Hobby EPT bulkhead setup block

Japanese company Active Hobby Products have introduced their new EPT bulkhead setup block tool. Taking the idea of a bulkhead alignment tool a step further, the block also takes spool and diff axle alignment into consideration. First up the tool helps to align both the left and right hand bulkhead halves with an axle shaft dummy then also allowing to check the clearance and proper fit of the eccentric bearing and belt tensioner inserts while also allowing to check for any misalignment as result of a crash. Machined from aluminium and available in a range of colours, the tool is usable for 20mm bulkhead width cars such as the ARC R11 and R10 as well as 22mm kits such as the TRF419 and Yokomo BD7.

Samix TRF419X floating steering system

Samix have released a floating steering system for the new TRF419X touring car. Building on the design of the previous TRF419 variant, the new set respects the changes made to the “X” kit while retaining the overall idea of lifting the steering bellcrank posts from the chassis to the upper servo mount brace in order to achieve improved front chassis flex while also reducing the negative influence of chassis flex on the steering output. Included in the kit come new inner and outer aluminium servo mount brackets, aluminium bellcrank posts and a carbon fibre upper plate.
