From Xray for the X4 & X4F are these new hard composite horizontal rear body mount post set. These are harder posts made from a super-tough composite material with less flex which improves stability of the body mounting.

Following some teasers, Xray have released the complete details on their next generation X4F front wheel touring car. It utilises the X4 platform, with advanced upper/lower arm suspension mounted to a new mid-motor chassis layout for improved balance and handling. Like the X4 it uses the unique CFF upper and lower suspension arms for outstanding handling & durability with all suspension components mounted directly to the CFF arms without any additional brackets, inserts or bushings for accuracy and reliability. This car is not just a update, its a completely new platform.

For the XB2, XT2 & SCX, Xray have created this aluminium servo holder & graphite bridge. The stiffer servo holder reduces chassis tweak, reinforces the front part of the car and makes for a more reliable servo mounting.

New from Xray for the XB4 is this pair of carbon fibre chassis side guards. Moulded from high-quality carbon fibre material, they are super lightweight, 50% lighter than composite, stiffer in longitudinal direction to improve stability and with more flex in torsion to generate traction. The set includes left & right guards and they are suitable for all XB4 and XT4 chassis.

Xray have released full information on their new for 2023 XT4 4wd Electric Truggy. The truck sports a new chassis layout with diff, motor and battery moved forward that makes the XT4 faster and easier to drive. The front & rear bulkheads feature a horizontal split design (HS) to retain easy diff access while adding the valuable new diff height adjustment. The front & rear HS bulkheads incorporate a diff height adjustment using eccentric bushings. The design of the HS bulkhead’s inline bushing for the bevel drive gear keeps the gear properly matched to the diff height position. It also creates a more linear orientation for the front center drive shaft, reducing the CV joint angle for increased efficiency and decreased friction and wear. The height of the rear center drive gear is also adjustable to match the height adjustment of the differential. The new pinion gear is shorter to move CV joint closer to the differential, reducing the driveshaft angle and improving drive train efficiency. The new chassis layout moves the center diff, motor and battery significantly forwards and increases stability, allowing for more aggressive landings and making the truck more forgiving. The central drivetrain features new outdrives and dogbone driveshafts that offer reduced maintenance compared to previous CVD drive shafts. The servo mount was redesigned to fit the new frontward chassis layout and features two aluminum stands with graphite stiffener from top. Other new updates include to side guards, electronics plate, shock towers, suspension holders, battery posts, body posts and steering system.

MiBorg presents its innovative RCV driveshaft designed to Xray X4. A steel-to-steel interface between wheel axle and bearing hopes to provide less play and less bearing wear compared to the original assembly. It’s combined with the MiBorg original pin less wheel axle adapters for a better wheel concentricity. The driveshaft centre of rotation is aligned with the steering axis to ensure an easy handling of the car. The RCV concept is still utilizing the design of full-scale cars, and is an advantageous alternative to ‘double joint’ shafts. The very high level of accuracy and durability offers no play and no wear run after run. The driveshaft use balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration even with high steering angles.

T-Works have released these stainless steel chassis skid protector sets for the Xray XB8. The skid plates will provide additional chassis protection in the front and rear of the car, something that comes in handy especially when running on highly abrasive surfaces or on track with large jumps. The protector plates are made of high-quality stainless steel material for durability and corrosion resistance and come in a set of two.
