Xray XB4 Gamma 4C ultra-lightweight body

From Xray comes this ultra-lightweight version of the XB4 Gamma 4C Light body, especially designed for high traction conditions. The profile of the body improves stability in fast corners, chicanes and helps with rotation in tight corners. The high-performance, low-profile aerodynamic body for XB4C is designed by Xray to perfectly fit the car and work in most track conditions especially for higher grip tracks. More down force have was added to the middle to increase rotation in slow corners. Less down force in rear and front give more corners speed without diving too much. Made from high-quality premium Lexan material.

RC Dynamics 1S Super Low ESR Power capacitor

From RC Dynamics, this 1S Super Low ESR Power capacitor helps minimises power losses to give greater performance. The primary purpose of the ESC power capacitor is to minimise power losses caused by the high frequency switching currents generated during motor commutation/control. The goal being to maximise ESC performance and minimise the heat generated in the internal circuits. It is very important that the ESC has a power source with minimal source impedance. The latest LiPo batteries used in 1S on road racing now already provide an incredibly low internal resistance. Therefore in order for the capacitor to provide maximum benefit it must have an ESR (Effective Series Resistance) at the relevant frequencies, at least an order of magnitude less than the LiPo battery internal resistance. The traditional Aluminium Electrolytic power caps do not have such a low ESR. The RC Dynamics 1S Super Low ESR Power capacitor, is manufactured using the highest performance components available and is tailored to suit RC models powered by a 1S LiPo Voltage source. Prototypes have been highly successful, installed in the winning cars at the 2020 Stock World and European Championships, also at UK National level.

ZooRacing Bwoah 190mm GT LMH bodyshell

ZooRacing have introduced the Bwoah, their first 190mm GT LMH bodyshell. The wheel arches offer enough space to also fit the GT tires with a large diameter, while the super slim cabin plays into the overall wide and flat look of the body. You’ll find two cutting lines for the rear wing, a 10mm high version that’ll apply to the USGT regulations as well as a higher ‘Outlaw’ option for maximum downforce. The whole design of Bwoah uses the lowest possible centre of gravity and generates maximum corner speed with that, especially on tracks with lot of grip. The GT classes with less strong motors have been put into consideration as well with low air resistance helping to create high top speed on the straightaway. The clearance makes allowances for the widespread Tamiya TT-01 and TT-02 models and the design has been adjusted for those, so it even fits cars with high shock towers. Moulded from high-quality 0.7mm polycarbonate for a low weight of only 75g, the body package is rounded out by high-quality wing mounting hardware and a highly detailed sticker sheet including grill, head and tail lights.
