Yokomo BD10 brass clamping wheel hubs

Yokomo have announced the release of their new brass clamping wheel hubs for the BD10 touring car. Weighing in at 5.45g per set and thus being about 3.6g heavier than the standard aluminium adapters, the brass parts will increase unsprung weight which can be beneficial in certain track conditions, such as outdoor tracks. The hubs allow to increase traction on the respective end of the car, allowing to mix and match them with their alloy counterparts with a heavier front making for improved corning while in the rear, the brass hubs can improve stability. The hubs use a 4.0mm offset which is the same as the standard aluminium hubs and they come in sets of two.

Rebellion-RC T4F mid-motor conversion kit

RC-Carbonstore have announced the release of their Rebellion-RC mid-motor conversion kit for the popular Xray T4F FWD touring car. Designed for the use with the now redundant T4F 2019, the conversion utilises the design and all of the features of Rebellion-RC’s successful T4 FWD mid-motor conversion with a new upper deck and front shock tower being the most important updates. The front shock tower uses the T4’19 geometry, making for a lower centre of gravity compared to the T4F with the front body mounts being attachable in two different ways – the same as on the T4F or in a regular “4WD-ish” fashion with the body posts mounted to the front bumper. The conversion allows to use all of the existing option parts such as shock springs, anti-roll bars, lower arms etc. and the design enables the owner to convert the car back into a front-motor FWD in case track conditions call for it. The kit will become available including a carbon fibre or CrossFlex aluminium chassis and it includes all needed parts minus the required Xray off-set spur gear.
