Xray NT1/RX8 Carbon Battery Plate Adjustable Weight Balance Set

New from Xray comes this Carbon Battery Plate Adjustable Weight Balance Set for its nitro onroad kits, the NT1 and the RX8. This unique & innovative solution allows quick and easy adjustment of the car’s weight balance to fine-tune handling characteristics for different track conditions. The integrated weight balance adjustment system is fully incorporated into the Carbon Battery Plate and enables the weights to be repositioned forward or rearward directly on the assembled car. No parts need to be removed, allowing fast and convenient set-up changes at the track. The set includes a carbon battery plate and two 15g stainless steel weights that can be positioned as needed to achieve the desired weight distribution. Two additional optional 15g weights (#336158) can be installed for increased tuning possibilities. When using up to three weights, the balance can be adjusted as required. With all four weights installed, the weights are fixed in position. The innovative design mounts the weights directly to the battery plate without negatively affecting the chassis flex characteristics, ensuring consistent handling while providing additional set-up flexibility. Manufactured from premium-quality USA-made carbon fibre material and precision CNC-machined for maximum strength, durability, and consistent performance.

Futura 1:10 Formula Kit

A brand that was created by Italy’s Mikimodel after three years of its ‘Special Parts’ production, Futura presents its first ever full kit with the release of an 1:10 Formula car. In development for almost a year, it has been designed with a strong focus on optimal weight distribution and highly efficient vehicle dynamics. The rear carbon fibre pod plates, combined with aluminium mounting points, help reduce unsprung mass, improving weight distribution and rear-end responsiveness. The pod plates are connected by a composite brace specifically designed to maintain alignment without excessively increasing stiffness, allowing a controlled amount of rear flex to enhance traction and cornering grip. The rear wing mount features 6 adjustment positions, enabling precise aerodynamic load tuning according to track conditions and setup requirements.

MXLR FlexFill Body Insert for Avalon Vortex Body

The most talked about body shell in RC racing at the moment, MXLR has created this FlexFill Body Insert for the Avalon Vortex 1:10 EP Touring Car Body. With its long front nose, there is a big gap to be filled between bumper and shell to keep the front in perfect shape under aero load and prevent it from bending down at high speed. Usually ordinary body shell foam is used here, which works fine in most cases – but with more than 15mm of gap to be filled in the middle section, foam is simply not a reliable option anymore. It deflects, it wiggles, and it costs you front end consistency exactly where you need it most. Already before the first big showing of the body, MXLR came up with a solution for this issue with their specially shaped FlexFill Body Inserts. Made from TPU and matched to the exact shape and angle of the Vortex front end, they provide the perfect fitment with the bidy – and a perfect match with the MXLR FlexBumpers and most kit bumpers. Installation is simple using thin double sided tape (not included) to mount the FlexFill Body Inserts inside your Vortex shell. The full set weighs only ~2.3 grams, while the amount of ordinary body foam needed to fill the same area comes in at ~1.9grams meaning you get a massive gain in stability and consistency for almost no weight penalty.
