Xray T2R Pro FRP Chassis & Upper Decks

Xray T2R Pro FRP Chassis & Upper Decks

Xray have released this set of CNC-machined FRP chassis and front/rear upper decks for the T2R Pro. The main advantage of the FRP material is its flex allowance. Due to the flex, the chassis and top decks create more traction and stability on low-traction asphalt tracks compared to standard graphite material. Knowing that every small detail impacts the handling and performance of a high-performance car, Xray CNC-machines every chassis in-house using the most modern German milling machines. fully robotically-operated and controlled to ensure that every chassis meets the tightest manufacturing tolerances. Suitable for the T2‘009, T2‘008 and T2R Pro.

Hot Bodies Cyclone TC, D4 & D8 Options

Hot Bodies Cyclone TC, D4 & D8 Options

Hot Bodies have release a whole load of new products for their main line of competition chassis’ but we will start with the Cyclone TC. Now you can adapt your Cyclone and Cyclone TC chassis to LiPo power with this LiPo battery upper deck conversion set, which comes complete with upper deck, aluminium block and all the necessary hardware you will need to get up and running. New rear 0º degree hubs have been machined from billet aluminium and anodized purple for added durability and custom looks. Some new aluminum front spindles are more than just aesthetic, but also stronger and more precise on the track. Finally for the TC are the DCJ drive shafts, that maintain better corner speed while drastically reducing wheel chatter. The DCJ or (Double Cardan joint) shaft breaks the single pivot point into two pivot points resulting in less drag and shallower shaft angles during sharp turning. For the Cyclone D4 and D4 WCE come an aluminium centre cup joint set that helps you loose weight where it counts the most, in the drivetrain. Less rotating mass equals quicker acceleration response and higher top speeds. The buggy also gets a complete set of both front and rear steel universal drive shafts. For the World Champion D8 buggy there are new universal drive shafts made from Japanese steel. Tougher than stock, they are easily identifiable as WCE with a light silver coating and come in 92mm length instead of stock 91mm, which gives a little bit of extra length to prevent pop outs and give an extra bit of down travel. The centre drive shafts also get the Japanese steel treatment.
