Xray announce XB4 2WD

Team C TM4 – Preview photos

German Team C Racing distributors Absima have first preview images of the forthcoming TM4 4WD electric off-road buggy available. Previously only seen on somewhat blurry teaser photos the company now released detail pictures of the buggy that made a first public appearance at the recent IFMAR World Championships in Chico, California. The buggy makes use of a design that becomes more and more popular in the 4WD class and that uses 2S shorty LiPo battery packs in favour of the 2S saddle packs that dominated the all-wheel class for decades. The buggy is based on a hard anodised aluminium chassis, features aluminium suspension mounts with plastic inserts to adjust toe and anti-squat settings and the drivetrain is equipped with CV-style driveshafts all-round. A carbon fibre upper deck, carbon shock towers and aluminium big bore shock absorbers round out the package. The chassis is topped-off by a sleek cab forward body shell.

Avid RC8.2 hard anodised shock towers

Avid introduce hard anodised aluminium shock towers for the Team Associated RC8.2 buggy. They feature an updated design that allows to use the popular camber rod mod without having to drill out inserts. The rear tower also is supplied with the popular ‘0’ hole and new shock tower positions with an additional inner hole and a removed outer hole for a more compact appearance. Both the front and rear tower are a direct fit on every RC8 buggy but it is recommended to only use the front tower in conjunction with the new AE vertical spindle system as the stock moulded caster blocks do not offer the support for the camber link mod. The overall shape now also offers clearance for larger HB/GHEA shock caps and Kyosho shocks. Available as separate items or as set of one front and one rear tower.
