Xray X1’21 hard 2.5mm graphite chassis

For the X1’21, Xray have produced this 2.5mm chassis made from a harder graphite material for very-high traction conditions. Also suitable for when using tires that offer a lot of steering which makes the car more difficult to drive, this harder chassis makes the car more stable and easier to drive, and eliminates oversteer. The chassis was redesigned to accommodate the tweak-free pod system and side braces. The X1’21 chassis continues to offer a wheelbase adjustment using one of three mounting positions for the front suspension. Depending on the installation choice, wheelbase can be selected from the standard length or +/- 4mm alternatives.

Hudy aluminium set-up wheel for 1/10 offroad

Hudy have released their new aluminium set-up wheel for 1/10 offroad. These unique hexagon style set-up wheels simulate the different sizes of 1/10 off-road tires. Each type of tire – carpet, astro, dirt or foam can have a different diameter and these set-up wheels have multiple heights to match the style of tire being used. Suspension set-up, ride height adjustment and checking tweak using standard rubber tires that are not perfectly round can result in inconsistent measurements. When checking and setting up suspension geometry, it is important to eliminate as many variables as possible and have all four corners of the vehicle positioned at the desired height each time. The alu set-up wheels are one of the most important and basic set-up tools when performing a professional car adjustment. Precision-machined to exacting tolerances, each alu wheel in a set is perfectly matched and fits all standard 2WD and 4WD off-road cars 1/10.
