RC Maker T4’21 Slimflex chassis & top decks

For those Xray drivers that want to continue to use their RC Maker options on their T4’21, the Australian company has produced an updated Slimflex chassis and top deck. With the T4’21 seeing only some slight adjustments to the design, the chassis and top decks feature only minor adjustments from the T4’20. The 2.2mm thick chassis profile remains unchanged, however they have now been able to add additional holes to the rear of the chassis to enable the use of their ‘weight shift’ adjustable chassis weights. The topdeck has also undergone minor adjustments after feedback from their team drivers and have now added an additional brace in front of the spur gear to increase the rigidity in high traction and hot conditions to provide more corner speed. If running on low to medium grip, you may want to look at removing the brace for increase flex in the front. The top deck is available in both 1.6mm and 2.0mm versions.

JConcepts Regulator option parts

JConcepts now has a host of accessory parts available for the Regulator chassis conversion kit. While designing the conversion, the design team took things an additional step by re-designing the entire axle housing and ladder bar assembly based on the original Clod Buster layout. This optimised layout provides several new updates and unlocks even more potential from the JConcepts Regulator. The parts include transmission housing halves, axle tubes, steering blocks, ladder bars, lower link connectors, and connector bar support. JConcepts offers an extensive list of items which can be purchased through their Shapeways store. In order to take advantage of some of these updates, it is necessary to use the non 3d printed items below in conjunction with the Shapeways parts to completely outfit the vehicle in performance condition.

T-Works lightweight closed locking wheel nuts

Similar to their P1 17mm lightweight locking wheel nuts released last week by T-Works for 1/8th scale buggy, truggy and GT cars, the difference is that these versions are closed on the end. Machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium the wheel nuts have been heavily machined to reduce weight with only 3 of the 6 corners of the nut left for an aggressive look. The serrated back will grip into the wheel, ensuring the nut will not come loose during your run. Sold as a set of 4, the P1 versions are available in grey, black, titanium, red and blue colours and in a P1.25, for HN and IGT8, in black and red.
