Xray XB4’20 large volume centre differential set

Coming from Xray and made for their XB4 2020 1/10th scale 4WD buggy is a large volume centre differential set. Using the diff will increase traction on slippery track while also improving car handing over bumpy sections where it helps to absorb bumps better. The larger oil volume prevents the diff from overheating, extending its lifespan. The super-smooth gear diff set includes a composite case and cover with exchangeable spur gear. The set includes a 81T spur gear with a range of sizes being available to fine-tune the gear ratio. The internal gears are precision-moulded from tough composite material, ensuring long lifespan and super-smooth, efficient operation.

TLR 22X-4 1/10th 4WD electric buggy kit

Team Losi Racing have officially unveiled their all-new 22X-4 1/10th scale 4WD buggy that made some impression at the 2019 IFMAR 1/10th Buggy World Championship held at the Hudy Racing Arena in Trencin, Slovakia. Although still sharing its name with its predecessor, the triple-belt-driven 22-4, the 22X-4 has nothing in common with the previous buggy. Taking a completely different approach to a TLR 4WD buggy, the R&D team has developed an all-new platform from the ground up. Switching to the more reliable and versatile shaft drive design, the 22X-4 is much lighter and has improved driving characteristics while also being significantly easier to build and maintain. The buggy has a combination of features second-to-none including full adjustable suspension, 2.5 milled aluminium chassis, floating servo mount, adjustable motor and battery position, carbon fibre throughout, and so much more. Maximising the flex characteristics for all surfaces, the 2.5mm thick chassis with heavy pocketing gives the correct amount of flex and rigidity for smooth corning, optimised balance, and bounce-free landings. Taking suspension tuning to a new level, the 22X-4 has adjustments for front and rear axle height, rear axle pin position, inner front and rear hinge pin position in all directions, nearly unlimited rear camber link positions, shock mounting positions, and much more.

Klinik RC Cougar Laydown +3mm rear camber mount

Klinik RC have introduced their new +3mm rear camber mount for the Schumacher Cougar Laydown buggy. The mount is aimed at astro and carpet racers that have needed to stack 3-6mm in washers to obtain the correct roll centre for higher grip surfaces. Using the mount adds strength to the rear inner ball mount when running a higher roll centre. With no washers installed the parts offers the same height as the stock geometry with 3mm washer, hence the +3mm name.

Yeah Racing YD2 aluminium rear motor kit

Made for Yokomo’s YD2 series of RWD drift cars is Yeah Racing’s new aluminium rear motor kit. The set relocates the motor of the YD2 to a rearward position which helps to gain on-power grip and corner entry speed. The motor position is adjustable so drivers can fine-tune the amount of chassis roll when entering a corner. The leftover space is filled by an aluminium chassis stiffener brace which also acts as a location to attach the speed controller to. Also brought over from Yeah Racing’s previous bulkhead design is the quick release diff to easily swap between diffs to try different setups. Included in the kit are the gearbox halves, motor plate, chassis stiffener and chassis mount, all machined from aluminium and coming black anodised and laser-engraved for surface protection and looks.

Yokomo Racing Performer 3.5mm motor connectors

Coming from Yokomo’s Racing Performer series are new heavy-duty 3.5mm motor connectors. The female tube-style connectors are of a hexagonal design which makes soldering a lot easier while the “heatsink” design allows for improved motor terminal cooling. The european-style bullet-type male connectors can be used for straight for 90 degrees angled soldering, allowing for more wire routing options. The connectors are of a heavy-duty design meaning they are less prone to unplug even in the event of a crash and they are available as 6-piece tube and plug set or as 3-piece tube set.
