Reflex Racing T4 spring set & fan mount

Reflex Racing T4 spring set & fan mount

Reflex Racing have released a number of new items for the Xray T4, first of which is their carpet linear spring set. This set is comprised of springs that are more linear in nature than their asphalt spring set, yet still posses very nice road compliance and feel. Oversized in diameter by 0.5mm it allows for more consistent handling on carpet tracks and yield more steering and corner speed. The set includes 4 pairs of springs, Orange (16.7lb), Pink (15.1lb), Blue (14.8lb) and Black (13.5lb). Next up are these carbon fibre wing holders, which are a great way to secure your TC’s wing much more securely. They are especially effective with light weight bodies where the wings are a bit flimsy. Lastly there is this all new T4 universal fan mount. The fan mount installs on the chassis hole behind or in front of the motor and works with most 25, 30, 35 and 40mm fans and is designed to be held in place by only one screw on the chassis and one screw on the mount.

JConcepts TLR22 7" Hi-Clearance rear wing

JConcepts has released their new 7″ Hi-Clearance rear wing for the TLR22. A slightly wider base gives the wing a larger surface area which allows more stability during low and high speeds which provide some much needed grip in tricky situations. The Hi-Clearance sections near the end plates still allow maximum suspension compression and tire expansion.
