Xray RX8 3S linear spring sets

Following the new 3S linear shock springs for the NT1 Xray now also introduce RX8 specific sets. The 3S springs are specially designed for the new shorter low profile shock absorbers and are shorter in length with the rear one now sporting the same dimensions as the front spring. The laser-engraved, selected and matched parts make for more corner entry steering and are available as C=3.5 to 5.5 and C=7.0 to 8.0 variants with the lower numbers marking the softer springs.

Called 3S the springs are specially designed for the low profile shocks with the rear ones being 4mm shorter than the previous springs, meaning fronts and rears now sport the same length.

Beside the standard C=3.5 and C=4.0 springs also harder 4.5, 5.0 and 5.5 variants are available.

Also new is a speed controller shelf to allow the ESC to be mounted right before the shock tower. The shelf is cut from 2.0mm material and attaches right to the bulkhead using the existing screws.

VBC touring car & F1 options

VBC Racing introduce two new option parts for the Wildfire and FF Twelve touring cars as well as the Flash04 formula chassis in the form of hardened lightweight spool outdrives and aluminium spring retainers. Starting with the outdrives, they are designed for the aluminium spool body, come with a hardened surface and are machined to reduce weight and thus rotation mass for a quicker spool up and better acceleration. Also new are aluminium spring retainers for the shocks of the Wildfire, FF Twelve and Flash04 cars. The large diameter securely holds the spring while the grey anodised finish matches the remainder of the car’s parts.
