Xray T4 graphite steering plate set

Xray T4 graphite steering plate set

Xray have a new option part for the T4 touring car available in the form of the graphite steering plate set. The part allows to adjust the chassis flex by coupling the steering links using the supplied carbon fibre plate. This medium flex setting offers a tad more steering than the kit setting while an even more aggressive steering feeling can be achieved by using the included aluminium stand to couple the plate with the upper deck. Included with the carbon fibre plate come the alloy stand, mounting hardware and shims.

Pro-Line Trifecta wing & off-road car stands

Pro-Line Trifecta wing & off-road car stands

Pro-Line have more off-road related accessories to offer in the form of the Trifecta 1/8th rear wing and car stands for buggies and trucks. Starting with the wing, the part was first seen at this year’s ROAR Fuel Offroad Nationals and it is designed to greatly improve rear traction and high-speed stability. Sculptured in an aggressive, futuristic design with large centre fins the wing can be equipped with your choice of a small or large wickerbill to fine-tune the performance. Underneath the main plate of the wing there are three dimples that hang down on each side creating a “golf ball aerodynamic effect” which increases low speed down force and reduces high speed drag. Suitable for 1/8th buggies and trucks the wing is available in yellow, black or white colour.
