Xray XB808 Alu Steering Blocks

Xray have announced the release of these new steering blocks for the XB808, which have been CNC-machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium, and then hard coated for extra durability and long life. Ultra-strong construction provides very long life and durability in even the most extreme racing conditions. Smart Xray engineering includes use of composite bushings to secure ball-bearings in both sides of the steering block, allowing perfect fitting and smooth operation to ultimately impart much higher lifetime compared to bearings installed directly into aluminium steering blocks.

Xray XB808 Clutch Bells

Xray have released a new range of clutch bells for the XB808, manufactured on a precision manual gear machine from Hudy gear steel, a material specially formulated and developed for use in gears. Heat treated for highest strength, minimal wear and extra-long lifespan, the XB808 clutch bell features unique oversized ball-bearings designed and engineered by Xray. Replacing the standard 5×10 bearings with 1.3mm balls, the oversized 808 clutch bearings are 5×12 with 2.0mm balls and extra-thick bearing walls. This translates to higher load-carrying capabilities which will increase the life of the bearings and reduce the risk of clutch bearing failure during long final runs. The bearings come with special high-temperature resistant grease to ensure proper lubrication during high-revving engine operations and long runs. Available in sizes of 15T, 16T, 17T and 18T.

Losi Tuned Flex 8ight-T Chassis

Losi have released this Tuned Flex Technology Chassis for the popular 8ight-T truggy, having been previously available for the 8ight buggy. It has been milled at exact points to give more flex to the chassis while not sacrificing chassis flex at the gear mesh, which greatly improved overall traction and stability on all track surfaces and has been vigorously tested worldwide by Losi drivers Adam Drake, Mike Truhe and Yannick Aigoin. This lighter chassis will reduce the vehicle’s overall weight to provide increased acceleration and better handling.

Jaad Racing Cyclone pivot blocks

Jaad Racing have just released these optional pivot blocks for the Hot Bodies Cyclone. Available in + and – 0.5 degrees for the FR and RR pivot blocks, and a 3.5 degree front or rear pivot block, the user can achieve 3.0 degrees toe. Through their testing they found that wider pivot blocks make the car stiffer, and narrower blocks makes the car roll more, hence as a general rule wider blocks are used on the rear or narrower in the front when more steering is needed. All blocks are made from 7075 aluminium and have been purple anodised. Available now.

Predator X11 Big Bore shocks

Our mates over at oOple have the first information on the new ‘big bore’ shock absorbers from Team Extreme, manufacturers of the Predator X11 4WD electric buggy, who brought some of the first production examples to the recent Talywain BRCA National. Nathan Ralls has been testing the shocks behind closed doors for a while now, but has finally started to race the car in public – first time out at the recent South East regional, and a win for the new X11 driver with these new shocks. The new shock absorbers are the same length but Team Xtreme have maxxed out the diameter to the limits of what would fit within the existing range of springs.

More information can be found here.
