Xray X4F 2.0mm Graphite Upper Deck

Xray has released this one-piece carbon Multi-Flex top deck for its X4F 1:10 FWD Touring Car platform. It features a narrow shape for easier installation, improved handling characteristics and features 8 different flex options. The one-piece top deck offers increased flex, which makes the car softer which is suggested especially for low traction conditions where it removes a bit of initial steering but generates more mechanical traction. The top deck can be modified by making additional cuts, to provide more additional flex set-up options. Produced from high grade USA made carbon fibre, the machined ultra-precise top deck screws ensure the top deck is mounted completely tweak-free to improve flex characteristics. The shape of the top deck is specifically designed to achieve maximum traction and great steering characteristics at the same time.

MR33 Horizontal Body Mounting Tool

MR33, in collaboration with BOOM RC, has released this Horizontal Body Mounting Tool to make customising your 1:10 scale touring car body a safe and easy task. The MR33 Horizontal Body Mounting Tool consists of high-quality 3D-printed components and is assembled according to a modular system. This means you can use it with the most important 1:10 touring car bodies and always mark and drill your horizontal holes perfectly. The base part is printed in such a way that it can be placed perfectly on the rear wing brackets of the corresponding body. This means that everything is perfectly centred right from the start. Use the enclosed full-surface plastic washers to set the desired distance between the body holes (measured downwards from the spoiler mount). Most teams already have specifications here that you can use as a guide. The marking plate screwed to the base part indicates the perfect hole positions that you need to mark by means of the exact hole spacing. Then all you have to do is drill the holes and that’s it. Sounds simple – and it is. With the MR33 Horizontal Body Mounting Tool, shaking or marking the holes at an angle is practically no longer possible. Different versions (with different inserts) are available, and MR33 has also prepared the marking plates for different touring car models.
