X-Factory UK Sensor Protektorz chassis decals

X-Factory UK have introduced their new Sensor Protektorz chassis decals for the Team Associated B6.1 or 6.2, the TLR 22 5.0 series, Schumacher Cougar Laydown, Xray XB2 2018 to 2020 and the Yokomo YZ2 DTM and CAL. The stickers protect the motor sensor lead from damage and they are printed on durable, self-adhesive high-grade vinyl. They sport brand co-ordinated logos and schemes for that factory look and help to conceal the sensor lead in many of today’s leading 2WD buggies down the routed channel along the spine of the chassis. Each decal is die-cut to follow the machined recess’s and specific shape of the chassis and thus makes for a neat and tidy professional looking electrics install.

JConcepts S15 NB48 2.0 body shell

Coming from JConcepts and made for the Tekno NB48 2.0 buggy is the S15 body shell. The S15 blends performance features from the popular Silencer body with new features such as mid-body winglets and rear stabiliser kick-up. The roof of the body remains strong with the upper fin in position for stability and tracking ability. The engine area remains clean and a deep-rooted position allows the engine head maximum side exposure to air and escape. The front and rear body mount area is cleanly designed and allows for a drop-fit on the Tekno NB48 2.0 and other kit variants. For the precise fit, the design has undergone changes to match the Tekno chassis side-guards and body mount positioning. The S15 stance cockpit allows ample fuel tank access, a smoother high-speed windshield transition which tackles even the most high-speed conditions. The hard-edged chamfering provides the classic JConcepts look while also delivering aero benefits and perfect decal positioning. Included with the clear body come window masks, and a decal sheet.

Arrowmax chassis balancing tool

Coming from Arrowmax is their new-generation chassis balancing tool. Machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium the tool allows to check and adjust left-to-right chassis balance by placing the race-ready chassis on top of the pins using the small dimples or holes found in the front and rear of most competition chassis. An imbalanced chassis will be visible by hanging to one side with optional balance weights allowing to bring the chassis in balance again. Adjusting the chassis balance will make for a more predictable car and the tool is usable with most of today’s on-road and off-road kits.
