TLR 22X-4 carbon fibre chassis

TLR have introduced this carbon fibre chassis for the 22X-4 4wd buggy. Weight is the best way to improve the performance of your 22X-4, making the buggy handle better, stay flatter, accelerate harder, brake quicker, land smoother and just go flat-out faster. The 22X-4 2.5mm aluminium chassis weighs around 115g, while the 22X-4 Carbon Chassis weights in at 75-77g – a weight savings of 38-40g. The massive 40g weight savings allows spec racers to run full-sized short batteries at near minimum weight. Unlike most off-road carbon fibre chassis that are cut from flat sheet carbon and require an aluminium front bulkhead for the chassis kick up, which effectively cancels out the weight savings, this carbon chassis is laid and includes the front chassis kick up in the carbon plate so no extra weight is added back on.

MiBorg M-chassis RCV driveshafts

Coming from MiBorg and made for the Tamiya M-chassis are the new RCV driveshafts. Utilising the design of full-scale cars the driveshafts use ceramic balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration and more compacity compared with a double joint. This leads to a more predictable driving and in addition the wheel axles allow the use of pin-less wheel hex adapters for a better wheel concentricity. These driveshafts can be use on the rear, they bring more stability and a better control of the trajectories.
