Xpress XQ1 mid pulley conversion kit

Coming soon from Xpress and made for their XQ1 range of 4WD touring cars is the Mid Pulley chassis conversion kit. With the centred layshaft pulley and spur gear the motor will be shifted towards the centre of the car, a design that became en vogue recently as it promises increased mid corner rotation, improved overall chassis balance and more equal front and rear end drive compared to the standard “rear motor” setup. The set includes new upper and lower chassis parts, a new motor mount and several other parts to convert the standard XQ1 as well as the lower spec XQ1S. The conversion kit will hit stores world-wide very soon.

Capricorn LAB TE04 carbon fibre battery mount

Made for their LAB TE04 electric touring car is Capricorn’s new carbon fibre battery mount. Of a floating design the mounts only slightly touch the battery pack, resulting in a more natural chassis flex compared to using reinforced tape. This lead to a more equal left and right turn handling and less unwanted chassis tweak. The set includes a two machined carbon fibre battery retainers, machined and red anodised battery posts as well as mounting hardware.

ARC R11 Mid aluminium main chassis plate

Coming from ARC and made for the R11 Mid 4WD electric touring car conversion kit is an aluminium main chassis plate. The part is machined from high-quality 2.0mm 7075-T6 aluminium and it makes for a more rigid chassis construction, reducing torsional flex compared to the standard carbon fibre chassis for optimised handling in high to very high bite track conditions. The chassis comes black anodised for surface protection and it sports machined silver edge details and chamfered outer edges for less chassis scrub during cornering.
