Xray SCX 1/10th Short Course 2wd chassis

Xray have introduced their entry to the 1/10th 2wd Short Course category with the release of the SCX. Based on the company’s XT2 truck platform, the backbone of the car is the CNC-machined 2.5mm Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium chassis. Super lightweight, its retains the necessary strength and rigidity for the longer wheelbase SCX and is black coated at Xray’s own in-house fully robotic coating line. As is necessary in the SC class the front and rear bumper assemblies protects the truck from impacts with other vehicles during the close quarters racing common in Short Course events, while the side bumper braces provide support to the body in case of an impact and help protect the chassis. A tweak-free fully adjustable battery holder as well as simple battery installation through the smart quick-release system, the car utilises a LCG transmission that uses a super-narrow, ultra-low CG gear box with quick & easy diff access with the narrow design of the LCG gear box, reducing weight and moving all parts closer to the chassis centre line

JConcepts RC10 shock tower & battery brace re-release

JConcepts have re-released a number of carbon option parts for the RC10 and RC10 classic chassis. The stock vehicle comes standard with a fibreglass unit which carries all the original geometry, however it lacks the pizzazz, strength and appearance that carbon fibre can provide. The new shock tower maintains the classic geometry but includes detailed reinforced areas adding strength in key areas as well as the improvement in material creates a more rigid feel, increasing the response in the front-end. The Monroe battery brace by JConcepts is highly functional and aesthetic eye-candy, designed from genuine 2.5mm carbon fibre, it performs as good as it looks. With so much variety in today’s batteries and with most vehicles having a flexible mounting position forward and aft, functionality is always a top priority. With the new battery brace, running different battery positions is possible while maintaining the necessary terminal clearance and providing a healthy holding force to keep everything in tact even in the most demanding conditions or the inevitable crash. The shape, combined with exotic material and surface finish, tops off an all-important look to the vehicle from the inside out.
