Xray T4 2020 low friction Kevlar belt

Xray have introduced a low friction Kevlar belt for the use with the all-new T4 2020 touring car. White of colour, offering Kevlar reinforcements and a softer feel, the belt makes for less natural drivetrain drag compared to the standard kit belt, resulting in improved acceleration and top speed which is essential especially for stock racing classes. The 3mm wide and 351mm long belt is usable in the front and the rear of the drivetrain.

RC Maker T4’20 GeoCarbon bumper plate with stopper

RC Maker have introduced their new GeoCarbon front bumper plate with stopper for the Xray T4’20 touring car. The plate and stopper feature a stylish, stealthly and innovative design and the parts add extra protection to the front of the car as the support contacts the bulkheads and prevents impacts from snapping the main chassis and are very important. The design integrates the stopper under the main bumper plate, lining up with the bearing mounts on the front bulkheads. In the event of a crash, the force will be transferred through this and keep the chassis in tact, with minimal effect on the bulkheads. The brace recesses over the small bumper posts enabling it to get low enough to align with the bulkhead. When tightening the upper plate, it clamps the whole assembly down tightly. Upon resting, there is a 0.2mm gap between the bulkheads and this support, to prevent any rubbing and tweaking. The bumper plate also features three sets of holes, allowing drivers to adjust the bodyshell forwards and backwards as seen on the standard plates. The integrated stopper does not move, it will be in the same place regardless of the body post position. Due to the design, the plate can also stay in place when removing the front anti-roll bar.

RC-Project MBX8 Ackermann steering kit

Coming from RC-Project and made for the Mugen MBX8 series of vehicles is an Ackermann steering kit. The set was developed to optimise the steering characteristics of the vehicles by allowing for full steering lock and increasing the steering angle of the outer wheel by 12 degrees. This results in better turn in and more consistent cornering while making the car easier and more precise to control in fast sections also. Part of the package are redesigned outer steering spindle plates that offer two different steering link positions, the standard “S” marked position for high-grip and a new aggressive “A” geometry for slippery tracks. The set is machined from high-quality 7075-T6 Ergal material, the parts come with a black surface coating for wear and looks and also included are Reverse-type pivot balls whose updated geometry fine-tune the whole steering system.
