Xray XB8 series medium rubber shock membrane cell

Xray have introduced their new medium hardness rubber shock membrane cell set for XB8 based buggies, trucks and GT cars. The special design of the volume compensator provides a smaller air gap compared to conventional rubber diaphragms, resulting in more consistent damper action throughout the whole run. The red medium hardness cells will also offer more rebound compared to the previously released soft set, making for improved traction on smoother surfaces. The membranes come in sets of four and they are usable for the nitro and electric variants of the XB8, XT8 and GTX.

Yokomo BD9 linear SLF front springs

Coming soon from Yokomo is their new line of linear SLF front springs for the BD9 touring car. Developed in cooperation with Axon, the springs offer a linear characteristic which will lead to a more aggressive steering feeling compared to the standard progressive front springs. In addition they are 1.5mm shorter, allowing for easier ride height adjustment when running smaller diameter tyres. The individually-marked springs come in 2.6 to 2.8 hardness and according to Yokomo they are also worth a try in the back of the car.

Zero Tribe working on T4 mid motor conversion

Japanese brand Zero Tribe, known for their popular Xray T4 FWD conversion, have released first renderings of a mid motor conversion for Xray’s T4 electric touring car. The design is inspired by Tamiya’s TA05 car and Awesomatix’s A800 MMCX mid motor conversion, with the equal length front and rear belts making for quicker and more even throttle response while the placement of the somewhat heavy motor creates an optimised overall balance. The kit will allow the use of shorty-type LiPo batteries as it is a developing trend when running indoors. We bring you more information on the kit as they surface.

Protoform X-Lite 190mm touring car bodies

Protoform have introduced their new X-Lite 190mm touring car body shells with the popular Type-S, D9, LTC-R and MS7 all being available in the new ultra lightweight variant. With high-grip surfaces such as CRC black carpet now the norm, the weight of 190mm touring car bodies is more crucial than ever. X-Lite bodies will help lower the CG of the car even further than the PRO-Lite types, resulting in better, more responsive handling, less traction roll, and faster lap times. This means Protoform now offers a total of three different body shell weights with the 0.7mm thick “Light Weight” being the standard variant, ideal for races that enforce minimum body weights – such as the ETS – followed by the lighter “PRO-Lite” and ultra lightweight 0.5mm thin “X-Lite” types.

SWorkz S35-3 pinion gear stopper set

SWorkz have introduced a pinion gear stopper set for the S35-3 series vehicles. The 5x7x5.1mm crunch spacers ensure a smoother running drivetrain by filling the space between the inner input bearings. The defined space between them will prevent the ball races from binding, which results in a more free running drivetrain.
