Xray release XT8’22E 1/8th truggy

Xray have released full details on their new XT8E’22 1/8th electric truggy platform. Sharing most of its updates with the recently announced XT8’22, it features a new chassis plate with wider rear section for increased stability as well as mounting provisions for a graphite brace for additional flex adjustment and chassis weight mounting locations for easier balancing. New front and rear arms sport a stronger, reinforced design that minimises flex in high temperatures for better handling and steering. Stronger and longer conical servo saver spring has an improved adjustment range while an all-new servo saver with chassis locked posts for more secure installation. A new lower front shock tower has improved geometry for increased corner speed and stability while shorter shock absorbers work together with the new tower geometry for improved handling. A new E concept allows for two different layout alternatives the first with rear motor position with a single battery position on the left, or front motor position using saddle pack batteries in the rear. The kit includes two graphite servo holders, one for each motor/battery configuration and a 2-piece battery holder for saddle pack layout improves balance and lowers vehicle CG. The standard battery holder is moulded from new harder material for reduced flex, while there is a compact electronics mount for speedo and receiver when using the saddle pack battery configuration.

More new drift specific parts from Yokomo who have introduced this RX Conversion for YD-2 S series chassis. The set can convert the high mount midship motor YD-2S series to the graphite double deck chassis of the rear motor. In addition to the main parts such as the main chassis, upper deck, gearbox and motor mount, all the screws required for replacement are included, so you can easily try the latest RX specifications. As with the RX chassis kit, there is three colours available to choose from such as black, purple and red.

Yokomo R160 & R100 Drift spec speed controller

Yokomo have released a special version of the R160 / R100 speed controller, which is explosively popular due to its smooth throttle feeling, equipped with an original program dedicated to drifting, called ‘Drift Spec’ added. Many users have already installed the conventional R series in drift cars, and especially in RWD drift cars as it seems that the ease of handling in the low speed range and torque can brought out by changing the program, but in the Drift Spec, this is done by default. In addition to optimising the throttle feeling for drift driving, the delay time when shifting from braking to reverse by throttle operation has also been modified, making it even easier to use for drift driving. Of course, if you use with the dedicated programmer R26P, you can easily change the feeling to bring out the optimum characteristics according to the driving conditions and the driver’s preference.

ARC R8.3E 1/8th onroad EP competition car kit

ARC have released the R8.3E, their new 1/8th onroad electric competition car kit. Coming standard with a 5mm carbon fibre chassis which not only reduces weight but has excellent flex characteristics that delivers superior mechanical grip. The R8.3E transmission retains a 3-belt drive system through the centre of the chassis. The belts and pulleys are the same specifications as the R8.3. The integrated 3-piece upper deck connects the front bulkhead to the rear along with a fan mount for cooling the motor. The upper deck design complements the main chassis to provide optimised flex, but at the same time, reduces the likelihood of the belt flipping over the pulley. The new motor mount and a new internal ratio of 2.4, allow a wider gear ratio tuning window on the R8.3E from 4.75 to 5.85. The centralised battery position sees the batteries sit either side of the drive system close to the centerline of the chassis to improve weight distribution and lower the rolling moment. The R8.3E features new longer rear shocks that are 3mm longer than the previous model. This allows the shocks to be moved closer to the centerline for improved handling characteristics. Further improvements have been made to improve smoothness and sealing to deliver a more consistent rebound.
