K-Factory TM E4 Steering crank

K-Factory TM E4 Steering crank

K-Factory have released a new steering crank set for the Team Magic E4. Whilst the standard nylon components are reliable and durable, they reckon that CNC machined 7075 lightweight hard coated aluminium is better. What matters is the accurate transfer of servo motion to the wheels and a light, rigid material will perform better than a malleable one where energy is being transferred. The mounting point of the steering arms to the steering bell use inserts with offset holes, allowing for quick and easy Ackermann adjustment.

Xray LiPo balancing chassis weights

Xray LiPo balancing chassis weights

More new items from Xray who have released this set of LiPo balancing chassis weights. Due to the light weight of LiPo batteries, your car may not be perfectly balanced and so these new weights are developed to help balance the left and right sides of the car. The weights are situated in the center of the chassis to keep the weight in the center of the car for better reaction and roll. Batteries are moved outward so they can be more easily inserted and aluminium holders prevent batteries from coming out. Suitable for the T2’008, T2’009 and T2R PRO 6-cell chassis only.
