Available in two styles, Type 1 and Type 2, each style also has two version, one that is a solid block and a second which includes a route for the servo wire behind the weight to keep the wire hidden and organised.

Xray release XT8’22 1/8th truggy

Xray have released full details on their new XT8’22 1/8th truggy platform. The car is a progression from the previous model and 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. The radio box is now moulded from harder material for a stronger and more rigid design to eliminate tweak issues in high temperatures and is now mounted to the chassis in more positions to create a solid and more reliable assembly. 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. Finally, ultra-efficient pre-glued brake pads give improved braking efficiency and consistent braking characteristics.

NathoBuilds XB4 & B74 LCG brass chassis flex plates

New to NathoBuilds is their LCG brass chassis flex plates for the XB4 and B74. The weight attaches directly onto the rear and front chassis brace, replacing the standard carbon fibre braces. This adds weight to the buggy, which can be fine tuned with the ‘pro set’ that will help with the weight of the rear and front of the buggy when using lightweight batteries or when running in bumpy track conditions. The weights can also help to find traction in very low grip conditions while countering traction rolling in very high-bite astro turf or indoor carpet racing. CNC machined from high-quality brass material which is sourced in Australia and is individually hand polished.
