Xray XB8 1-piece forward position wing holder

Coming from Xray and made for their XB8 series off-road vehicles is a forward position wing holder. The fully redesigned rear wing mount allows to place wing more frontwards which helps to improve rear downforce and traction. The super-slim, 1-piece design makes for reduced weight while increasing strength and the wing holder is made from a special composite mixture to withstand abuse and crashes. The mount is usable with the nitro and electric-powered XB8 buggies and XT8 trucks and to make full use of it, the vehicle’s wing need to be outfitted with a second row of wing mounting holes.

Rusti Design XX4 shorty LiPo brace kit

Available from French brand Rusti Design is a LiPo brace kit for the vintage Team Losi XX4 buggy.

LCG Racing BD10 SFX conversion kit

Following a first teaser image, LCG Racing have fully unveiled their SFX Symmetrical Flex conversion kit for the Yokomo BD10. After months of development and testing, the SFX conversion has already proven its capabilities in the hands of Nicholas Lee. The lightweight 7075 motor mount is designed with durability in mind and it works together with the symmetrical 2-pieces top deck. The design allows the use of the same top decks for both front and rear and it greatly increases the flex options as well as the ease of use. The rigid motor mount, which includes mounting positions for the battery stoppers, minimises longitudinal flex and makes the car more direct at corner entry and exit while increasing corner speed. By having a symmetrical flex design the car is more consistent and easier to drive, while the increased options help to adjust and fine-tune the car‘s setup to almost any track conditions and driving style. The SFX conversion also provides easier swapping of the top decks and better access to the drivetrain. The motor mount design allows the use of large pinion gears for stock racing but also works with large main gears needed for modified classes. Included in the set, that is available from now on, comes the new design motor mount, narrow top decks, top deck screws and 1mm aluminum washers.
