Lit R/C Products have announced the release of their new +10 adjustable wing mounts for the TLR 8ight-X series of buggies. Developed to raise the rear wing by 10mm compared to the standard position, the shim will improve overall downforce while also allowing to shift the wing forth and back to further fine-tune the buggy’s aerodynamics. The wing raiser comes machined from lightweight aluminium and features a black surface coating for wear and looks.

XactRC Traction Juice Bottles

Coming from XactRC are their new traction compound bottles that can be filled with your choice of traction juice. The ergonomics of the 4oz bottle is just the right size for small or large hands and the translucent material allows for easy checking of how much sauce is remaining, its cleanliness or type of solution. The bottle is available with two replaceable tips. First is the replaceable brush tip that is specifically designed for off-road use. With the brush tip, drovers no longer have to use both a sauce bottle to apply then use a separate brush to apply. This is ideal for those who are tired of having their hands dirty from different tyre sauces and chemicals. Second is the replaceable sponge tip that is ideal for on-road racers, or anyone using slicks or very low pin tyres. The triangle shape of the sponge allows for applying the sauce in a controlled manner and in a straight line on the tyre and not the sidewalls. The tips are also available separately.

Vigor T4 2020 low shock position shock towers

Vigor have introduced carbon fibre shock towers for the Xray T4 2020 that allow to access the optional lower shock mounting position. The shock towers feature updated geometries with lower upper shock mounting positions that allow to use the low lower shock mounting positions on the long arms of Xray’s all-new T4 2020 touring car. Using this setup will further improve handling in high to very high-bite track conditions as the lower mounted shock absorbers will lower the overall centre of gravity which helps to settle the ride.
