Xray XB8 graphite PB steering block & rear upright LB

Xray have introduced new graphite composite PB steering blocks and rear uprights for the XB8’19 buggy. The lightweight yet strong parts utilise a new graphite composite material that ensures free suspension movement in dusty conditions while also offering increased stability and corner speed on high to very high bite tracks. Both parts are designed for the use with larger 8x16x5mm outer ball bearings for increased reliability and life-span with the front pivot ball steering block being usable for the XB8’19 while the rear upright also fits the GTX8 and GTXE. The parts are non-directional meaning hey are usable both on the left and right hand side of the car and they are available separately.

Exotek TA07 aluminium bulkhead set

Exotek have released an aluminium bulkhead set for the Tamiya TA07 and the Exotek RS7 conversion. The machined 7075 alloy construction provides a solid flex-free and tweak-free bulkhead design that is heavy duty to maximise the performance of the TA07. The bulkhead will help stiffen the chassis slightly and provide better camber settings due to more solid camber mounting for improved cornering. Additional features include bearing-type roll bar holders and roll bar collets and the bulkhead weighs in at only 20g per set including sway bar bearings and collets. The bulkhead comes polished and blue anodised to match with the remainder of the car’s parts and it is usable in the front of the rear of the chassis.

Awesomatix roll out new optionals

Awesomatix have introduced a range of new option parts for their A800 and A700 touring car platforms. First up are new +9.0 and +8.0 alloy suspension arms for the A800X LA long arm chassis. The +9.0 variants were developed for the front of the car while the +8.0 arms are used in the rear.
