All of the above titanium optionals are precision-machined from high-quality 64 grade titanium and they help to reduce overall weight while adding visual impact and corrosion resistance.

Tamiya TA07 adjustable Ackermann set

Tamiya have introduced their new adjustable Ackermann set for the TA07 touring car. Designed to replace the standard T3 parts the CNC-machined all-aluminium set allows to change the steering’s Ackermann geometry which has an impact on the overall steering feeling. Included in the set is an insert for the standard 8.0mm kit setting, that results in a mild steering feeling, while the optional 8.5mm insert makes for a more aggressive steering reaction. The parts come blue anodised for wear and looks and Tamiya recommends to use them in combination with the aluminium steering arm set for greater overall precision and a further improved steering feeling.

Xray XB8 & XT8 aluminium high torque flywheel

Xray have introduced their new lightweight aluminium high torque flywheel for the XB8 and XT8 nitro kits. The Swiss 7075 aluminium 3-shoe flywheel helps to increase acceleration and improves throttle feeling. Strategically lightened compared to the standard #358532 flywheel, the lightweight variant does not sacrifice strength or durability. The highly polished and thus very smooth flyweight pins are factory-attached and the knurled outer edge makes for easy starting on the starter box and an integrated cover prevents dirt from entering the engine bearing.
