Xray introduce new moulded lightweight composite lower suspension arms. The specially-formulated graphite composite material allows for a very light suspension arm that can withstand the rigours of high-performance racing. The optimized suspension arms give improved traction, easier handling, and decrease tire overheating which leads to car stoppage under high-grip conditions. They feature a single optimized shock mounting position and integrated anti-roll bar mounts. The graphite arms have same size and geometry as standard 1-hole suspension arm, fit the Xray T2 and T3 cars and will become available first for all Xray pilots at the polish ETS round 4 starting from tomorrow.

Installing these in your car will allow for the car to drive smoother and have increased steering especially in tight corners. The RSD DCJs from Reflex Racing work with both the TC6 and the TC6.1 so long as you are using a 5x10x3 bearing in the TC6 and a 5x10x4 bearing in the TC6.1. You must also use a Hex Hub adapter with a larger axle hub opening like the ones for the HB TCX, Yokomo BD-5 or 3Racing Sakura line of vehicles. Each package includes 2 DCJ’s.

The new TC6.1 vertical ballstud bearing caps from Team Associated allow for finer adjustments of both the link angle and length, providing you more options to tune to your track conditions. The TC6.1 vertical ballstud bearing caps feature three positions total, all with a vertical ball stud orientation so that the ball height can be adjusted in finer increments. The shortest link position is the same length as the original, with the additional two link positions offering longer links. The new longer link positions will make the car more stable and feel more planted. The new TC6.1 vertical ballstud bearing caps come with an A-cap and B-cap, two sets are needed to convert one car, as well as the TC6.1 vertical ballstud shock towers.
L&C Racing, in collaboration with Capricorn, have produced a new type of MLC high performance nitro fuel. The ever increasing performance of the cars together with the tires, puts critical pressure on the engines. Capricorn has developed a new formula of lubricant oil for competition engines and gave the production to L&C racing, resulting in this unique blend of fuel.
