Xray T4’20 1.6mm carbon fibre upper deck

Coming from Xray and made for their all-new T4 2020 mid-motor touring car kit is a 1.6mm carbon fibre upper deck. Thinner than the kit top deck the 1.6mm variant is best used in combination with the aluminium flex or solid chassis as it allows for a softer overall chassis setting compared to the 2.0mm part which helps especially in lower grip conditions where a softer setting can improve steering and rear side bite. Like the original top deck the thinner variant is fully symmetrical and usable with the rear ball bearing or bushing chassis stiffeners to further fine-tune the overall chassis flex.

Xray XB4’20 multi wheelbase aluminium chassis

Coming from Xray and made for the XB4’20 is a multi wheelbase aluminium chassis. Machined from high-quality 2.5mm 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised for surface protection the chassis allows to use two different wheelbase settings, a shorter one for increased car rotation in corners on high-grip tracks while the longer wheelbase setting, that shifts the rear bulkhead towards thew rear, increases stability in low-traction conditions. The chassis also features strategically placed milled-out section to achieve the desired flex characteristics without harming overall stability.

Xtreme Racing T4’20 carbon fibre front bumper holder

Xtreme Racing have introduced their new carbon fibre front bumper holder with brace for the Xray T4’20 touring car. Machined from high-quality 2.0mm carbon fibre, the upper bumper plate was designed to contact the front bulkhead to prevent the chassis from breaking during impacts. The bumper holder was designed to use the stock body mounts and does not work with the offset body posts.

Yeah Racing M08 carbon fibre optionals

Coming from Yeah Racing and made for the Tamiya M08 M-chassis kit are several new carbon fibre option parts. The range includes front and rear damper stays, a front bumper plate as well as a body mount base set. All parts are a direct fit and while looking a lot better than the standard plastic items, they also help with overall rigidity and precision, adding to the overall performance – in case of the damper stays – while also helping with more secure body mounting for less wobbling and thus better aerodynamics, in case of the front bumper plate and body mount base set.

Futaba 7PXR 7-channel high-end radio system

Futaba have announced the soon release of their new 7PXR 7-channel top of the food chain radio system. Based off of the popular 7PX the R variant features several updates such as new home and menu buttons, an optimised weight balance for effortless handling even during long mains, and new carbon-reinforced steering and rear housing parts. By the use of red-anodised aluminium screws the weight was further reduced – and visual impact greatly improved – while a new-shape throttle trigger and brake lever improve the throttle and brake feeling. An “R” specific display design and background colour function as well as the included 1100mAh LiFe battery round out the 7PXR package. Other features such as the 4.3 inch full-colour LCD display, telemetry functions, MicroSD card slot and more have been taken over from the previous radio. The “R” is available as a set with one or two R334SBS or R334SBS-E T-FHSS SR receivers.

JConcepts have announced the release of their popular Octagons 2.2” buggy tyres in “silver” compound. Developed for high-bite slick tyre racing, the tyres feature a heavy X-pattern style inner ribbing for increased support while the continuous thickness carcass is lightweight and utilises the industry standard 2.2” mounting bead. Like the name suggests, the embossed tread which is Octagon-shaped is repeated and overlapped to form a subculture of grippy surface edges for dry or abrasive surfaces. The Octagons are available as 2WD front, 4WD front and 2WD/4WD rear variant in aqua, green, black, gold and now also silver compound to match just about any racing surface. Each package includes the Dirt-Tech inserts.
