Fenix Racing Associated F6 option parts

New from Fenix Racing, for the Associated F6, comes a full set of 7075 aluminium option parts. The new chassis weighs in at just 84 grams and sports some important features such as the ability to use straight or angled links and a more slim profile of the outer “wing” sections to further reducing scrubbing during cornering. One of the more interesting new parts is the caster adjuster, that allows you to change caster in a matter of second without having to find the right insert. To complete the set there is a 2mm thick 7075 motor pod.

RDRP XB4 brass suspension mounts

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products are new Brass Suspension Mounts for the Xray XB4 series of buggies. Machined from black-coated brass and sporting gold-colour chamfered edges the parts weigh in at 13g (FF/RR) or 15g (FR/RF) respectively and they add valuable weight to the front or rear end of the buggy. Used in the front the added weight makes for an easier to drive car especially in high traction conditions while in the rear the increased weight leads to improved traction on low grip. Used throughout the buggy the increased mass of 56g will make for a more planted ride over ruts and bumps. All mounts are available separately, the utilise Xray’s I.S.S. suspension inserts and they can be used in either combination with the original alloy mounts.

Capricorn C803 front upper arm mounts

Capricorn have introduced this new set of front upper arm mounts for the C803. The new mounts are 1.5mm higher than the standard version. This makes it so that the lower position obtainable with the eccentric inserts is the same height as the central position on the old version, while the higher position allows for a lower roll centre than before. The new mounts also limit the caster adjustment range, and are therefore meant to be used with the new shorter arm pins.

X-Factory Infinity XB2 dirt spec rear tower

X-Factory have introduced their new Infinity dirt spec rear tower for the XB2. Matching the Xray geometry perfectly, X-Factory’s tower is stronger and stiffer, made from 4mm carbon fibre making it also less flexible than the 3.5mm kit tower, all important characteristics in outdoor racing with its larger jumps and higher speeds. Made from U.S. carbon fibre in X Factory’s new Michigan shop, the thicker tower is different from standard in one respect. The kit tower is installed with bolts that thread into the CF, while using the same bolts with the Infinity tower, you must secure it with lock nuts provided with the tower.

First up is the Dynamics upper deck that provides refined flex areas and increased hardness compared to the standard part. Also new is the Dynamics rear shock tower that utilises redesigned shock mounting locations for an overall lower centre of gravity and thus quicker vehicle response. Next up are hardened 7075-T6 aluminium front spool outdrives. The lightweight parts are Type III hard anodised for wear, they are suitable for both stock and modified racing and fit all Wildfire front spools. Last but not least are new aluminium spring retainers for VBC’s TBB and TBBS shock systems.
