RSD RX4-15 aluminium chassis & servo mount bracket

Reflex Racing have introduced two new option parts for the Xray T4’15 in the form of the RX4-15 aluminium chassis and a carbon fibre servo mount bracket. Starting with the chassis, it is made out of machined 7075-T6 aluminium and it comes anodised a light shade of gray with silver chamfered edges to give the chassis a high-quality finish and premium look with the textured finish looks similar to a diamond dremel cut off wheel finish. The shape profiles for the RX4 -15 have been developed over the past year with a focus to provide your car a more consistent feel and less tyre overheating over a run. The design takes flex away from the bulkheads and moves it towards the centre of the car which results in a more stable car that is easier to drive at high speed.

JConcepts Chasers 1/5th scale tyre

JConcepts have introduced their first ever tyre for the 1/5th scale class, the Losi 5ive compatible Chasers. The tyre relies on hefty, medium lugs which are angular in multiple directions. The horizontal type tread has a striking similarity to the trusty 1/8th buggy Crossbow tyre. Chasers have a squatty, close lug arrangement which gives responsiveness and bites in all conditions. The wet and dry condition tyre has small recessed cuts in the top of the tread for extra edges and increased formability over terrain. The centre overlapping bar treatment increases durability in the highest wear region of the tire. The outer sidewall has added tread at the top which provides extra reinforcement for those tough outdoor conditions while the outer V-lug also provides some paddle traction in loose sand or muddy conditions giving the Chasers ultimate versatility.
