X-Grip Dynamic body lever V2

Coming soon from X-Grip is their new Dynamic body lever V2, an accessory that attaches to the front suspension of electric touring cars such as the WRC STX.6 and Xray T4 and that helps to make body movement independent from chassis movement. The body lever is 3-D-printed from high-quality material, it weighs in at only 1.6g and it was designed to attach between the suspension C-hub and upper camber link ball. A special plastic screw adjusts the distance between the platform and the body shell so the body is resting on the platform, ensuring the front body height and ground clearance maintains constant even under chassis rolling and suspension compression. It is required to allow the front of the body to float on the body mounts which can be achieved by simply attaching the retaining body clip one or two positions higher than usual. The new V2 variant is of an updated design that allows to remove the lever part quicker if needed and it is usable with the WRC Racing STX.6, the Xray T4 and many other classic suspension touring cars.

Capricorn C04 200mm nitro on-road kit – Coming soon

Italian company Capricorn has released a first teaser and information on their forthcoming new C04 1/10th nitro on-road kit. The follow-up model from their highly successful C03 platform will feature many new upgrades such as an all-new 7075 aluminium chassis which will feature shiftable weights under the fuel tank area for increased weight balance and stability. Also new is the ability to change the rear geometry greatly with the lower arms now mounted in adjustable inserts for up to twelve different geometry settings. Also new for the C04 is the ability to run a rear upper camber link instead of a solid arm, resulting in more flex for the lower arm, which can greatly improve the car’s rear traction in certain conditions. Other new features include an updated upper deck with a new fuel tank mounted from the top for easy removal of the tank, the battery will be mounted on the left side of the upper deck for optimsed weight balance, and there will be the option to change the front flex from soft to hard for a greater set up window in different traction conditions. New steering hubs will be another new feature to achieve a greater steering lock and rear CVD driveshafts will be available as an option. The kit is set for a release in late March.

Willspeed B6.1/B6.2 TakeOne D arm mount

Coming from Willspeed and made for their own RF2 platform as well as the Team Associated B6.1 and B6.2 buggies is the new TakeOne D arm mount. Considered a must have for all Team Associated carpet racers, the TakeOne D hanger does exactly as it says on the tin. Removing 1 degree of inboard toe-in allows races to achieve 0.5 and even 0 degrees inboard toe. Capable inboard toe-in range is 0 to 3 degrees with no change to anti-squat adjustment. Removing toe allows the rear axle to act more efficiently, reducing tyre scrub, increasing mid corner rotation and increased on-power steering. The part comes machined from high-quality aluminium and anodised clear.
