The new +1.5 dot and +2 dot pivot blocks are wider than standard, offering a new range of fine tuning options and allowing drivers to go all the way to +5 dot wide when paired with standard Team Associated inserts.

T-Works have introduced an adjustable battery holder set for the Xray T4 touring cars. The set consists of machined L-shaped carbon fibre battery locators as well as brass and aluminium stoppers that incorporate a lash to route battery tape above the chassis, rather than having to run it underneath the main plate. The result is more reliable and secure battery mounting while giving the ability to easily add weight, when running the brass battery stops, if needed. The set also includes easy to adjust backstops that locate the battery pack, allowing to shift it forth and back slightly. The set includes all needed hardware and it fits the 2017 to 2019 variants of the the T4.

The shape ensures it can be mounted on all kinds of touring car chassis without having to cut the front bumper and it is made of high-quality 0.75mm polycarbonate. Included with the body set come window masks, a decal sheet and the needed assembly hardware.
