Xray NT1 brass engine mount

Xray have released this optional brass engine mount for the NT1 that provides solid engine mounting and easy adjustment. The Monoblock Engine Mount is recommended for all conditions, providing a stiffer design than the standard single engine mounts but is still a bit more flexible than the Multi-Flex 1-Piece Engine Mounting System. The engine area of the car and the area between engine and 2-speed is reinforced but the flex of the chassis is still available. This reinforced area of the chassis between the engine and 2-speed gears reduces the chance of spur gear breakage or stripping. CNC-machined from premium brass material. Precision machined with highest tolerances using premium fully-automatic German CNC-machines. Ultra-strong construction provides very long life and durability in even the most extreme racing conditions. The weight of the monoblock from brass material is 53.5g and is heavier by 26g then standard monoblock. Thanks to this extra weight, car has more incorner steering and not so much extra weight is needed.

X-Factory E-Speed heatsink & fan mount

X Factory and Ellis Stafford have announced the newest E-Speed part, a heatsink and fan mount to fit all X-Cars with 4-Gear transmissions. The heatsink is a blue aluminium part that perfectly matches all the other E-Speed and Dirtz Dialed Partz from X Factory and looks great with a D.D.P. motor plate. Heat from the motor goes into the motor plate and the finned heatsink greatly aids cooling of the entire unit. All X Factory parts play well together, and the new E-Speed heatsink fits perfectly with the existing D.D.P. transmission brace. The new part also mounts a 25 mm fan in position to blow directly onto the car’s motor. The two cooling aids, heatsink and fan, are especially important in stock motor racing where modern brushless stock motors are often geared to the moon. Ellis designed the heatsink himself, as with all E-Speed parts, and like everything from X Factory, the new part is complete with a dialed fan and all the necessary hardware.
