Xray X12’14 side springs

Xray have released new side springs for X12’14.

Xray T4 graphite lower arm plates

New from Xray are these optional graphite lower arm plates which can easily change the hardness of the whole suspension. With the plates mounted, the arms are stiffer to make the car more stable and easier to drive under high-grip conditions. The plates can be easily mounted/dismounted using only 4 screws. Whether you drive in low or high-traction conditions, with the smart graphite stiffeners you can very quickly adjust your car to suit different conditions. At the beginning of a race event when traction is low, the arms are used without the SFATM graphite stiffeners. When traction increases, the suspension can easily be made stiffer by mounting the SFATM graphite stiffeners for more stability and easier driving characteristics. The graphite stiffeners give the car maximum stability in chicanes and allow for easier and smoother steering.

LMR Avior 2-piece buggy rear wing

LMR introduce the Avior 1/10 2-piece buggy rear wing. The second wing designed by LMR features design cues seen on the company’s Electra wing but now the centre section has been moulded flat so that it can house the 2nd piece of the wing. This small duct wing acts to force air onto the rear gurney when at speed and has proved to make the car feel very controllable at high speeds when sometimes they can feel on the edge. Also the side plates have been formed so they can be much taller, with cut lines to help you choose the perfect amount of side bite for your track. The wing is made from durable 1.5mm lexan material and it is available now.
