VSR Products 8ight series diff shim set

VSR Products have announced the release of a diff shim set for the TLR 8ight-X and XE kits. The set comes with a 1mm and 2mm shim along with four M4 screws to replace the stock ones. Raising the rear diff is extremely beneficial when running on smoother tracks with medium to high grip with lower ride heights; allowing for faster lap times to come easier in such tricky conditions. It can also be useful on tracks with tight corners. To get the most out of this setup, VSR recommend raising the inner camber link 1 to 2mm, along with shortening the rear shock length by .75mm or more.

Yokomo YD-2 rear ESC mount

Yokomo have introduced a new rear speed controller mount for their YD-2 series of drift cars. The design is a result of extensive testing of Yokomo’s team drivers, allowing for best possible weight distribution and transfer while allowing for easy ESC mounting and accessibility. The new option is a 2-piece aluminium and carbon fibre construction that combines secure speedo mounting and cool looks with the rigidity of the mount also helping with rear traction. Positioning the ESC in the rear not only helps to increase rear traction, it also reduces weight over the front, further freeing up the weight shift capabilities of the chassis. Increased gearbox and shock tower rigidity was achieved by connecting the whole rear end and also the diffusor for improved throttle feeling while the higher centre of gravity enhances the roll and weight shift characteristics of the chassis. ESC mount will hit stores early this June.

Xray 4-shoe off-road clutch set

Xray have introduced their new 4-shoe off-road clutch set for their XB8 and XT8 range of off-road kits. The complete set includes a flywheel, lightweight medium aluminium clutch shoes, gold, soft, clutch springs, assembly screws, flywheel collar, and flywheel nut. The 4-shoe clutch design allows for super-easy clutch setting from soft to hard setting, each suitable for different track conditions and racing styles. The clutch also features smaller, lighter internal parts, and the design allows for more balanced clutch bell engagement compared to the traditional 3-shoe design. The 4-shoe design allows the use of combinations of different hardnesses of shoes and springs in order to fine-tune clutch engagement settings, and even allows for a combination of different pairs of shoes and springs which gives ultra-fine engagement settings. Four different hardnesses of shoes and three different hardness of springs are optionally available and adjusting the clutch is made easy thanks to the special assembly screws that hold the shoe and spring.
