X-Grip STX.6 & T4 Dynamic Body Lever

European X-Grip distributor Mikimodel has introduced the new dynamic body lever, an option part for WRC STX.6 and Xray T4 touring cars that attaches to the car’s suspension and that helps to make body movement independent from chassis movement. The body lever is 3-D-printed from high-quality material and it was designed to attach between the suspension C-hub and upper camber link ball. A knurled nut adjusts the distance between the platform and the body shell so the body is resting on the platform, ensuring the front body height and ground clearance maintains constant even under chassis rolling and suspension compression. It is required to allow the front of the body to float on the body mounts which can be achieved by simply attaching the retaining body clip one or two positions higher than usual. The part weighs in at only 1.3g, meaning virtually no additional unsprung masses.

Coming from Pro-Line is their new Avenger HP belted street tyre for 1/8th scale buggies.
