Xpress XQ1 mid pulley conversion kit

Coming soon from Xpress and made for their XQ1 range of 4WD touring cars is the Mid Pulley chassis conversion kit. With the centred layshaft pulley and spur gear the motor will be shifted towards the centre of the car, a design that became en vogue recently as it promises increased mid corner rotation, improved overall chassis balance and more equal front and rear end drive compared to the standard “rear motor” setup. The set includes new upper and lower chassis parts, a new motor mount and several other parts to convert the standard XQ1 as well as the lower spec XQ1S. The conversion kit will hit stores world-wide very soon.

Xpress XM1 239mm WB conversion kit

Coming from Xpress and made for the XM1 and XM1S M-class touring cars is a 239mm wheelbase chassis conversion kit. Designed for high speed tracks or in situations where stability is required, the long wheelbase conversion will help gain more stability by having a car less willing to rotate in the corners. The result is an easier to drive car that is also good on very high grip carpet. The kit includes new upper and lower carbon fibre decks as well as longer belts.
