RC Maker T4’20 GeoCarbon HD bumper stopper brace

RC Maker have announced the release of their new GeoCarbon heavy duty bumper stopper brace for the Xray T4 2020 touring car. Designed to be used as either a replacement on RC Maker’s standard bumper stopper, or inserted under any other brands carbon bumper mount, the increased 5mm thickness makes the brace incredibly strong and more impact prone in heavy crashes. This allows the carbon stopper to reach lower, leaving carbon above and below the central impact zone, making it less prone to any de-lamination in big hits, preventing damage to the chassis. The part comes machined from high-quality 5mm carbon fibre and it integrates under any carbon bumper on the market.

VRP XV3 XB2/XB4 series shock pistons

Vision Racing Products have announced the release of their long-awaited XV3 shock pistons for the Xray XB2 and XB4 based 1/10th scale off-road vehicles. Available as Black Flat and EU version white variants, the pistons come complete with the transition valve pre-installed. The rebound booster hole has been precision drilled to the exact size VRP’s testing found to be the best all around setting. This yields excellent results that are proven on a variety of track surfaces; from rough, blown out tracks, to smooth, indoor clay. The difference between the Black Flat and the EU White pistons is the return rate. The return hole in the EU is smaller then the Black and gives less rebound. This matches up better for higher grip surfaces like carpet and turf. The pistons are available in ten different hole diameter specifications from now on.
