Xray X4 Lightweight Alu Steering Hubs

Xray has added these Lightweight Alu Steering Hubs to its optional parts list for their X4 Electric Touring Car platform. CNC-machined from premium lightweight T6 aluminium, their ultra-strong construction provides very long life and durability in even the most extreme racing conditions. A direct replacement for the standard composite hubs, using the steering blocks in an aluminium material reduces flex, and improves consistency, and will free up the car, mainly for high grip conditions, and especially in spec racing classes. The hubs allow full adjustability of the axle height to adapt the car to every condition. The X4’s carbon front steering plates and rear ARS plates are easily mounted depending on the hub’s location. The design of the hub is universal with the same part used at all four corners with corresponding extensions. Due to its lower height compared to kit composite hubs, 2.0mm additional shimming must be used to achieve the same upper arm height above the hub.

VBC Racng FF18 Revival 2026 Kit

A manufacturer that has been quite of late, VBC Racing has announced its FF18 Revival 2026 kit which is a tribute to the original FF18, one of the Hong Kong company’s most celebrated front-wheel-drive 1:10-scale touring car platforms. VBC say this this limited release exists because loyal fans and veteran club racers have long clamoured for a return of the FF18’s unmistakable driving character—light, agile, and unforgivingly fast on asphalt tracks. After VBC’s strong comeback, they are drawing directly from their existing original stock parts to make this authentic revival possible at an accessible USD $199 price point, repackaged for modern appeal and enriched with select factory upgrades like the new aluminium front C-hub. It’s not a ground-up redesign but a deliberate homage: preserving the hands-on build experience that defined the era, while addressing real-world racer feedback for enhanced high-speed stability. This release bridges VBC’s storied past with today’s FWD scene, offering collectors a genuine piece of history and active racers a platform ready to dominate local layouts without breaking the bank.

Boost RC TC10/3 Conversion Kit

Italian brand Boost RC has released this Internal Shock Conversion Kit for the Axon TC10/3 Electric Touring Car. This complete conversion system has been developed to relocate the dampers from the traditional external position to a fully internal layout, improving mass centralisation and overall driving performance. The result is a car that feels more predictable, more stable, and noticeably quicker through mid-corner, while remaining easy to drive at the limit. The kit is compatible with both the original Axon dampers and the optional short shock set (High Big Bore Shock Conversion), allowing flexibility depending on the driver’s setup preferences. All suspension arms are manufactured from 3mm carbon fibre, while the upper mounts are produced from high-strength composite material and designed to work with the original shock towers. Additional vertical carbon reinforcements further increase chassis rigidity compared to the standard configuration. The lower shock mounts remain the original Axon parts. At the rear, they are mounted underneath the arm and swapped left to right, while at the front they are mounted above the arm, also swapped left to right, to avoid any interference with the anti-roll bar. The composite upper mounts are designed to work with the original carbon body post holder, allowing the rear body posts to be repositioned from the standard horizontal layout to a vertical configuration, typically used in modified class racing. The kit also features a redesigned downstop screw position for precise and easy adjustments, along with a complete set of hardware including M3 screws, longer set screws for the camber link, and M3 nuts to be inserted into the dedicated seats in the composite upper mounts. All components have been designed, tested, and refined on track, with a clear focus on improving performance.

The changes to the LM26 kit are the aerodynamic Le Mans body shell, a new front bumper with body posts as well as an extra central carbon fibre brace which positions body mounting posts just in front of each rear wheel.

Ulitech Awesomatix Diff Tool Set

Czech brand Uli-Tech has created this Diff Tool set for building Awesomatix diffs. The company say it is specially designed to make your work as easy as possible during rebuilds, including the fact that you do not have to remove the pulley during installation, and excess oil is guided by the seal to an easily wipeable place. The development was carefully tested by people who have been racing with the Awesomatix chassis for a long time and who are confident this tool will make your work much easier and more precise. For video demo of the Uli-Tech Diff Tool click here.
