Xray XB2 2.0mm Mid | Short 1-Piece Alu Chassis

More new parts for the XB2, with Xray releasing a mid and a short 2.0mm thick aluminium chassis option for the 1:10 2WD Buggy. The Mid size is for tracks where more traction is required and the the Slovakian manufacturer suggesting it for low to medium traction tracks. Both CNC-machined from high-quality Swiss 2.0mm 7075 T6 aluminium, the Short chassis option is suitable for tracks where more stability is required with it suggested for medium to high traction conditions. The 1-piece chassis design with more flex characteristic generates more overall traction and improves steering. Both chassis features 4 extra holes to mount extra stiffener to reduce side to side chassis flex which helps to increase rotation and precision on high speed.

JConcepts Razor polycarbonate 1:8 wing

JConcepts has released its latest technically advanced alternative 2-piece wing for 1:8 racing with its new untrimmed polycarbonate Razor.  The Razor polycarbonate wing features a brand-new design mimicking the injection molded Razor as closely as possible.  Incorporating a multi-height layout which allows the wing to sit in a lower stance and the center section allows the included center divider to be added as another tuning option.  The wing is extremely light weight, formed in 1mm polycarbonate, and includes a centre divider together on the same part.  The wing is refined with taller side-dams, and taller rear gurney with trim lines and dimples finished on the part.  Angular sections blend nicely into the high-performance shape giving a location for that initial step and transition to the wing’s gurney position.  At the base of the wing rests the “fangs” that have become so popular on the 1:10 off-road carpet | turf | dirt wing.  Since the wing has a lowered section in the centre, some 1:8 buggies may have interfering geometry which will need to be trimmed or cut to allow the wing to drop down on the wing mounts.
