Xceed Zytec 1/8th Body shell

Xceed RC, in collaboration with Italian company Sprint RC and former F1 mechanic Pietro Corradini, are pleased to announce this new Zytec 1/8th scale body shell. Tested extensively by World Vice Champion Andrea Cristiani, its design allows for great top speed and good cornering traction thanks to its low and flat front and side wing design. Also incredibly stable at high speed as well as under braking, the new shell sports clearance at the front for the shock tower and upper wishbones as well as having very stiff sides thanks to a special built in shape. Available in 1mm and 0.75mm thick versions, it is on the 2008 list of EFRA homologated body shells (#31501).

Xray T2 008 Alu Chassis Brace

Xray have released this Alu chassis brace for T2’008, which has been CNC-machined from high-grade aluminium. It is recommended for carpet tracks with medium to super-high traction. Also suggested to use when the used tires have a lot of natural traction (for example soft compound tires) but also for tires which have type of insert which create a lot of air inside the tire. This will make the car easier to drive with smoother steering and the car will not “stop” in the corner.

Team Associated Factory Team TC5R

Another car based on their successful Factory Team TC5, Team Associated have also released the TC5R, an electric touring car chassis that has been optimized for lower traction, rubber tire racing. The components that make up the TC5R have the desired attributes that are sought after for indoor and/or outdoor racing with rubber tires, making the TC5R an even more lethal racing machine. The TC5R starts with a full ball bearing, dual belt-drive system that transfers all the power from the motor smoothlyand efficiently. With today’s motors and batteries delivering more power than ever before, the belt-drive system gives the TC5R a very predictable throttle response and feel, making it easier to drive fast and carry more speed through the corners. The blue aluminum ball differentials are super light for reduced rotational mass. Reducing the weight of the diffs lets the TC5R accelerate harder out of the corners. Hardened-steel CVAs with cross-pin retaining clips and blue aluminum clamping wheel hexes offer reliable service getting all the power to the wheels.
