Vigor touring car tungsten balance weights

Coming from Vigor are three new tungsten balance weights for some of the most popular electric touring cars. The range includes a 15g 3×19.5mm weight for the Yokomo BD10, a 13g 34.5x17mm weight for the Xray T4 series as well as a 10g 33.5×15.5mm weight for the Awesomatix A800MMX. All are machined of heavy tungsten material, meaning they are heavier than comparable brass weights, ensuring a more efficient chassis balancing. The weights are attached using super-thin double-sided tape. Also new is a universal 15g 5x6x26mm centre weight that can be attached in the motor mount area.

Xray T4 ECS BB 52mm & 53mm driveshafts

Coming from Xray and made for their T4 line of touring cars are the new ball-raced ECS BB driveshafts. The construction of the driveshafts offers a significant performance gain over the standard blade-type driveshafts as the friction between the driveshaft and the outdrive is greatly reduced thanks to using ball bearings, which helps to give a much smoother handling feel, especially on fast direction changes, such as chicanes. The reduced friction also helps to increase cornering speeds. The driveshafts are available as 52mm variant for smaller, more technical tracks where more initial steering is needed while the longer 53mm driveshafts are best suited for more open and flowing track layouts. They will provide slightly less initial steering, but better steering in the middle of the corner, as well as on power. The BB driveshafts only work with the front solid axle in combination with the optional #305138 outdrives.

Xray GTXE 2021 1/8th Electric GT kit

Following on from the recent release of the new GTX8 Nitro GT chassis, Xray have now introduced their new GTXE 1/8th scale Electric GT kit. The 2021 version of the EFRA European-Championship winning car is understandably similar to its Nitro counterpart, with focus on a redesigned and reinforced aluminium chassis whose rear section was reinforced for less on-power flex, which increases the stability of the car and ensures improved on-power control. The new chassis was also redesigned to fit both the soft and hard composite radio boxes without modification.
