Xray XB4 composite 6° C-hub

Xray have produced this graphite moulded composite C-hub for right & left steering block on the XB4 & XT4. The specially-formulated graphite composite material is a perfect balance between reliability and performance. With the caster pre-set at 6° the roll centre position can be quickly & easily adjusted by inserting different thickness shims atop the caster block, between the block and vertical ball stud. This graphite C-hub is suitable for most track conditions, especially for high- and very-high-traction tracks. Large openings allow for quick & easy assembly/disassembly of the CVDs meaning the entire CVD assembly can be easily inserted/removed through the C-hub without the need for disassembly. The large openings also prevent jamming of the CVD within the C-hub during serious crashes.

Ruddog Infrared Thermometer

Infrared thermometers are essential tools for checking temperature when it comes to getting most out of RC power components without damaging your engine, motor, ESC or batteries. The slim design of the Ruddog Infrared Thermometer allows you to carry it in your pocket and measure temps during a pit-stop or immediately after you take your car off the track. The high-contrast display is easy to read even in low-visibility conditions and informs you about temperature between -40 °C and 380 °C, emissivity coefficient, battery status and whether the °C or °F scale is used.

Tamiya TRF420X 1/10th competition chassis

Tamiya have introduced the TRF420X, their latest competition 1/10th touring chassis. The big change for the X is that the spur gear has now been moved in front of the motor, the motor position staying where it was, resulting in a more balanced and stable car. A focus for this latest iteration was chassis flex, the car comes standard with 2.25mm carbon fibre and 2mm aluminium chassis plates, and further fine-tuning of the setup can be achieved with different combinations and numbers of upper deck screws. The suspension and majority of the drivetrain are carried over from its predecessor.
