Hasi Tuned .21 manifolds

Hasi Tuned have released 4 new manifolds for .21 engines, the first of which is a conical manifold that guarantees easy tuning and low fuel consumption.

The 3rd version is a conical 90+90 and has extreme torque making it a good choice for super fast track and there is a 4th version which is slightly longer for a little bit simpler tuning and with less consumption than the std version.

Xray Active Differential for XB4/XT4

Similar in design and function to the recently released rear active differential set for the XB2 and XT2, Xray have introduced this product for the front and rear of the XB4 and XT4. The unique Active Differential is a high-performance, adjustable front or rear gear differential for XB4, vastly improving the buggy’s speed and handling characteristics. The special design of the internal components using different angled segments allows the diff gears to engage on-power to increase the forward traction, making it faster and easier to drive. While it is a performance option for serious racers who want to gain an edge on superior speed and handling, it is also of great benefit to drivers of all levels that want a more predictable and easy-to-drive car in all racing conditions.
