Xray T4 adjustable shorty battery holder & weights

Coming from Xray and made for their T4 line of touring cars is a fully adjustable shorty LiPo battery holder with weights. The set for shorty LiPo batteries allows to move the batteries front to rear by 4mm but also left to right for easy and comfortable weight transfer adjustment. The design of the battery mount also eliminates any negative chassis flex, making for a more equal left-to-right turning of the car. The included 40g brass weights set the battery in a central position for a perfect weight balance. In general, using a shorty battery with the low profile weights allows to lower the weight of the car which helps to make it easier to drive, more stable in the chicanes but in the same time it improves the rotation of the car. Xray recommended the layout especially for the modified class on carpet or small asphalt tracks.

PSM S35-3 modular rear hub weight system

Coming from PSM and complimenting their modular steering knuckle weight system is the new modular rear hub weight kit. The balance weight system will be attached to the rear hub and can be equipped with up to five 4.5g weights per side – with two pairs already included in the kit. The additional weight added to the hub creates more pressure to the wheel, which can be an traction advantage in many cases without affecting the suspension setup. Installation is simple with only two screws, making it easy to maintain the hubs or to adjust different weight settings in no time. PSM recommend using this system on tracks where the racing line is dry and dust free.

T-Works P12 Evo lightweight turnbuckle & screw sets

Coming from T-Works and made for the Roche P12 Evo 1/12th scale pan car are a lightweight titanium turnbuckle set as well as several screw kits. Starting with the turnbuckle set, the links are made of high-quality 64 grade titanium and the kit consists of toe, camber and servo links that are topped off by a suitable 4mm turnbuckle wrench. Using the lightweight parts will add visual impact while scrubbing overall weight. Also new are a total of four screw sets with the range including a red anodised all-alloy kit, a mixed aluminium and titanium UFO head set, a full UFO head titanium kit as well as a gold colour plated steel screw set. The alloy and titanium sets will greatly reduce overall weight while the gold colour steel screws mainly add visual impact.

Exotek RB7 LiPo cups and mount system

Coming from Exotek is an adjustable LiPo cup battery hold system for the Kyosho RB7 and RB6 buggy and trucks. It allows to adjust the battery quickly, forward or way back, with ease as track conditions call for it. The system securely cradles the battery in place for added chassis flex compared to taping the battery to the chassis and it is lightweight, easy yet secure battery hold in and removal. The carbon fibre construction ensures lightness and makes factory looks with machined alloy mounting bases. The set is for experienced hobbyists as it requires a 1/8”/3.25mm drill bit and some DIY to mount the alloy base in the side rails. Included mounting instructions and a drill template help to achieve the best possible results though.
