Samix SCX10 II lower shock & suspension link mounts

Coming from Samix and made for the Axial SCX10 II trail truck are lower shock and suspension link mounts made from brass. They weigh a combined 43g and thus add a good amount of weight to the lower part of the chassis which will lead to improved climb performance. Due to the rigidity of the material they also eliminate flex of the lower shock mounting for optimised suspension efficiency. The parts come machined from high-quality brass material, they sport a black coating for wear and looks and come in sets of four.

Xray T4 2018 electric touring car kit

Xray have introduced the 2018 version of their highly popular T4 1/10th scale 4WD electric touring car. Like in recent years Xray have carried out some subtle updates and revisions to the platform with the most noticeable change to the 2018 variant being the all-new Ultra Low Profile ULP shock – probably the shortest coil-over dampers to find on a 1/10th touring car. 4mm shorter than the SLP the ULP were developed to lower the CG of the car even more to further improve handling. With the ultra short shocks the T4 is meant to stay flatter, making it easier to drive through chicanes in high-grip conditions and making the car more resistant to traction rolling, letting the driver carry more speed through high-traction sweepers while the steering response and cornering speed are significantly improved as well.

Schumacher Eclipse LMP12 carbon fibre link mount

Coming from Schumacher and made for the Eclipse LMP12 pan car is the carbon fibre link mount. The mount gives the option to play with LiPo position. Mounted from the chassis holes in a forward position gives an adjustment of up to 7.5mm. When rear traction is high, moving the LiPo forward can give smoother handling and help to prevent traction roll leading to a car that can be driven harder and faster.
