Xray have released yet another way to fine-tune your T3 or T2 based car with these new 4.9mm quick roll center holders. This matched pair of CNC-machined high-grade aluminium holders, marked H1 and H2, are 1mm higher with the same length than L1 & L2 holders, allowing the car to roll more. May be used at either front or rear. Using these in the front makes the car turn easier. Recommended for high-carpet traction tracks because it decreases in corner steering and helps to prevent traction rolling. Using the H roll-center holders in the rear increases corner steering and speed.

To satisfy the demands of serious racers, Team Shepherd have introduced aluminium lightweight wheel axles for the Velox V10. The rotating mass could be reduced by more than 60% which improves the acceleration significantly. Additionally the handling of the car improves as the un damped mass is reduced, too. The CNC-machined wheel axles are made of special aircraft aluminium which offers optimum strength and durability. A special hard coating prevents the axles from excessive wear and an extra hole for the CVD pin simply doubles the lifetime.
