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.

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.

Volker & Donath win at EWS International

The 2019 edition of the EWS International took place last weekend. Ronald Volker initially set the pace during qualifying in the Modified class, and then on Sunday morning made it a clean sweep by topping all four rounds with his development Yokomo chassis. Behind him, long time Marc Rheinard secured second on the grid for Infinity, the German also running a prototype car as Infinity continue to test their upcoming IF14-II. Lucas Urbain was the big mover on Sunday morning, with third place in Q4 moving the Frenchman up to third on the A Final grid. Yannic Prumper and Christopher Krapp rounded out the overall top five, with the Xray trio of Alexander Hagberg, Bruno Coelho and Elliott Harper not able to replicate the pace they had shown throughout practice and having to start the finals from deep in the field. The A Final line up was completed by former event champion Kyle Branson, and Awesomatix’s Loic Jasmin. Alex Thurston was the unlucky BQ driver, missing out on the final place on a tie-break with Loic by three-tenths of a second.
