Rebellion-RC T4 low profile conversion kit

Coming from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand is a low profile conversion kit for the Xray T4 touring car. The set allows for a somewhat radical shock conversion that places the dampers 5mm lower compared to the standard setting for an overall lower centre of gravity. In addition the updated geometry optimises overall damping for higher corner speeds, less traction rolling in high-grip conditions and a more linear shock action. The set, that fits the 2017 to 2019 variants of the T4, contains all needed parts, including shock towers, lower arm extensions and machined original T4 arms. As usual with Rebellion-RC’s carbon fibre optionals, the set is available in twelve different carbon fibre weave colours and all parts, as well as the machined arms, are also available separately for spares or repair.

KO Propo RSx3-one10 Flection Type-T servo

KO Propo have introduced their new RSx3-one10 Type-T servo, specially developed for the use with Tamiya brushless speed controllers. The steering servo builds on the proven RSx3-one10 series, however a specially developed coreless motor makes for lower current consumption, ideal for speed controller with less powerful BEC systems such as Tamiya’s brushless ESC that features a 1.5A BEC system. The servo is aimed towards the use in Tamiya racing series where the Tamiya speedo is mandatory but it can be used with basically every other electronic speed controller. In addition the servo features five programmed settings, for high-grip asphalt, low-grip asphalt, low-grip carpet, Tamiya World Championship blue carpet and the Tamyia Kakegawa track, all of which are accessible using KO Propo’s HCS programming interface. To further make the servo stand out it features light blue case details and a black high-flex receiver wire.
