Xray X4 CFF Carbon Fibre Fusion Upper Arms – Soft

Xray has introduced a ‘soft’ version of their CFF Carbon Fibre Fusion Upper Arms for the X4 touring car.  Machined and molded from thinner premium-grade graphite and softer composite materials. The arms are super lightweight and very compact. Soft arms generate more mechanical grip on the car and improve side traction. Recommended for very low & low traction asphalt and carpet tracks. The softer arms are slightly more fragile. The unique CFF suspension soft arms are an elegant engineering achievement that look great and perform even better on the track. Using XRAY’s own developed manufacturing process, a carbon fiber arm and composite arm are molded together using a fusion process to produce a single CFF suspension arm.

WRC High Traction System

Following the release of their latest 1:10 Electric Touring Car chassis, the STX8 back in October, Italian company WRC Racing has present its new High Traction System (HTS).  This 10 satellite gears diff configuration is designed and developed by WRC for the 1/10 scale touring cars and come as standard in the STX8 Kit.  The strength of this differential is the high friction gears even with low viscosity oils, thanks to the 10 small satellite gears.  The low oil viscosity lets the car have high rotation in the entry/central phase of the corner, then having high traction on exit as the high friction of the gears act as a higher viscosity oil.

MonacoRC Rubber Bumper Flex X4

MonacoRC has released the MonacoRC Rubber Bumper Flex X4 for Xray’s hugely popular 1:10 electric touring car. The Rubber Bumper Flex is a specially made bumper as defined by the name with a thermoplastic material that makes it highly resilient to frontal impacts of your model, but that is not all. Thanks to the study of the right measurement relating to the hexagonal texture of its design increases the steering of your X4 implemented by the slowdown of the air flow under the model. The design of the MonacoRC Rubber Bumper Flex has also been lowered to minimise its weight, but the contact surface with the rest of the bumper components has remained unchanged to allow greater safety in the event of an impact. The bumper weighs 13g and has a contact body surface size of 8.0 mm.
