Xray X4F‘26 Front Wheel Drive TC

Xray has released details of the 2026 kit of their X4F Front Wheel Drive Touring Car.  The X4F‘26 features an all-new carbon chassis with mid and rear cut outs which creates flex that generates more rotation and steering.  The 12-gram weight reduction from the cutouts means more ballast weight can be positioned on the chassis to alter weight distribution.  Xray have also redesigned the carbon rear upper holder to improve durability in hard crashes.  The carbon plate utilises a new wave design, instead of the previous fixed cross member, which allows more flex in the rear suspension to improve rotation and off-power steering.  Link style upper suspension arms are included in the kit as an alternative to the traditional CFF upper arms for maximum adjustability & improved handling in certain conditions.  The car gets shorter shocks, positioned 3mm lower than previous geometry, improving cornering speed, mid-corner steering and stability, it also reduce traction rolling in high traction conditions.  New shock holders are relocate to the upper shock mount positions to compliment shorter shock geometry.  All-new adjustable steering arm provides easy Ackermann tuning by changing eccentric bushings and the servo mount has been redesigned for the new carbon battery holder.  A new rear top deck with a more open rear section improves rotation and off-power steering.

Exotek F1 UltraR5 Hard Anodised Machined Alloy Chassis

New from California based manufacturer Exotek Racing comes this hard anodised 7075 machined alloy chassis for their F1Ultra R5 and CW series 1:10 Formula chassis.  Thanks to its slight weight increase, long wheelbase and stiffer feel over the carbon chassis, it helps produce excellent handling in all conditions- whether loose asphalt or high grip carpet.  This chassis greatly reduces the centre of gravity for reduced chassis roll for greater corner speeds and an improved ‘balanced feel’ at any track versus a carbon chassis.  Designed for use as inline or transverse shorty battery placements, inline carbon fibre battery guides are included with a Battery Tray  required for transverse battery mounting.  Weighing 75-grams compared to the Stock R5 carbon chassis at 49-grams, the hard anodised chassis is 2.5mm thick in the main sections and 2mm thick in the center cut section.
