Xray X10’15 200mm pan car kit

Xray X10'15 200mm pan car kit

Xray introduce the all-new X10 200mm pan car in 2015 specification. First of all the car features a redesigned chassis with improved weight balance and an overall narrower appearance. The chassis accepts a standard 2S LiPo pack with the speedo and receiver sitting on the wider front part of the chassis while 1S packs allow to mount the electronics in-line in front or behind the battery. The narrower chassis also sports a more centrally placement of the rear links, resulting in increased steering response and improved side-to-side balance. A new narrower and ultra lightweight motor pod adds to the more agile handling the 2015 Spec car allows. Another new feature to the rear end are improved roll tube dampers with an aluminium outer tube and inner delrin rods for highest possible precision.

Team C’s TC02 2W buggy and TC02T stadium truck are the latest vehicles to receive MIP’s Pucks drive systems treatment. Both sets are of the 17.5 specification, meaning they are specially designed for stock class racing as they include lightweight aluminium C-CVD driveshafts and aluminium outdrives making them ideal for spec racing due to the lower weight and rotational mass compared to the standard steel items. Included with the drive systems also come the name giving Pucks drive pin cushions, that make for a smoother and easier to maintain drivetrain, as well as steel wheel axles and new thrust races.

Xray T4 rear front lower suspension holder

New from Xray comes this 1-piece rear front lower suspension mount for the rear end of the T4 touring car. Designed to replace the standard split mount with a single piece holder, the part is best used on high-grip surfaces as it is made to improve steering and rotation into corners. Another benefit of the mount is a higher rigidity in crashes as the 7075 alloy part securely stays in place. The holder comes orange anodised and it is a direct replacement for the standard split mounts.
