From Xray is this ultra-lightweight version of the XB2 Gamma 2C body, designed especially for high traction conditions. The profile of the body improves stability in fast corners, chicanes and helps with rotation in tight corners. The high-performance, low-profile aerodynamic body for XB2C is designed to perfectly fit the car and work in most track conditions especially for higher grip tracks. More downforce was added to the middle to increase rotation in slow corners with less downforce in the rear and front giving more corner speed without diving too much. Made from high-quality premium Lexan material.

Revolution Design have released this hard front anti-roll bar set for the T6.2 & SC6.2 (1.5/1.6/1.7mm). Although today’s stadium and short course trucks are based on low-centre-of-gravity platforms, available options still focus on dirt tracks. As a consequence, racers are either to improvise or will be unable to unlock their trucks’ full potential on high-grip surfaces. With their wide front tires, trucks can be a handful on carpet and Astroturf, because the anti-roll bars on the market are not up to the task of taming down your front end, until now that is. RDRP has come up with a set of three anti-roll bars with high-grip racetracks in mind. Available at an economic price, this is a welcome option for everyone racing an Associated 6 series truck on carpet or Astroturf.
Avid have announced the release of this chassis brace support tuning set for the TLR 22X-4. Designed to make the TLR 22X-4 steering more predictable to drive while providing more confidence, it does so by stiffening the front end with a thick 3.5mm carbon brace and softening the rear with a 1.5mm carbon brace. The set comes with a pair of 1.0mm shims to maintain rear chassis and gearbox gap.
