Hot Bodies TCX option parts

Coming soon from Hot Bodies are several new option parts for the TCX 1/10 scale electric touring car chassis. The longer lightweight Solid Axle Long Cup fit the front differential or spool allowing racers to use the 44mm driveshaft instead of the 46mm driveshaft. Also new are the Universal Axle Pin Cover, purple anodised aluminium collars that replace the set screw in the universal axle for a quicker rebuild and increased durability. The collar surrounds the pin and prevents it from slipping out. The part also suits the Cyclone line of touring cars. Last but not least Hot Bodies have new 6-hole 1.1mm Teflon shock pistons available. They come as a pair and also include 6.2x3x2mm spacers and shock rod guide, both made from PTFE.

Xray RX8 aluminium front anti-roll bar mounts

The aluminium front anti-roll bar mounts for the Xray RX8 allow you to adjust the anti-roll bar independently from down stop setting, so that both settings do not interfere. The new parts also allow for wheelbase adjustments as the anti-roll bar mounts move together with the front arms, and wheelbase adjustment shims that can be added either in front of the anti-roll bar, to shorten the wheelbase, or behind the arm, to lengthen the wheelbase. The parts are CNC-machined from Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium.
