Xray RX8E’23 1/8th EP onroad chassis

Following last week’s release of the new for 2023 RX8, Xray have today unveiled the EP version of the same car, the RX8E’23. The car is a major update on its predecessor with only a few parts carrying over from the old car. The all new chassis has narrowed front suspension pivots to increase stability & traction, more chassis cutouts to create greater flex in desired locations and additional chassis cutouts to improve engine cooling. Hard composite suspension arms combined with the improved central chassis flex keeps the suspension geometry stable while the flex is transferred through chassis and radio plate to maintain traction. Narrower front suspension holders help improve geometry, while longer lower suspension arm shock mounting holders compensate for the narrower suspension holders to maintain the ideal shock absorber geometry. Lower down-stop mounting holders without the eccentric geometry make the car easier to set suspension down-stops. There is all-new front aluminium bulkheads with a lowered design and new front upper clamps that feature integrated upper shock mounting positions, eliminating the need for a separate front shock tower. An innovative front upper shock mounting directly on the upper clamps adjusted via shims provide more flex on front suspension. A new front upper bulkhead brace for easy flex adjustments. More stability with the brace installed, more traction and steering when the brace is removed. There is an ultra-compact and super lightweight receiver box that moves the weight lower and closer to the centre of the chassis. Plus many more changes that make up the all new RX8E.

Exotek F1Ultra Carpet Works chassis set

Exotek’s new Carpet Works chassis set for F1Ultra is designed for maximum performance on carpet tracks. The weight forward design enhances corner speeds by moving the servo forward and running the battery inline for more front tire bite. The modular chassis design allows you to position the battery for optimal weight placement depending on your tracks traction because not all tracks are the same. The stiff 1-piece carbon chassis is also lighter for more responsiveness while keeping the front section as carbon fibre that is proven to resist tweak and bending that alloy F1 chassis can experience on small indoor tracks. Exotek also now offer the F1Ultra race kit combined with the Carpet Works chassis set.

Destiny RX-10SR 3.0 touring car

Following weeks of teaser images on their social media, Destiny have finally released full information on their all RX-10SR 3.0 touring car. Following the trend of removing the shock towers, the shock absorbers are now mounted to the bulkheads. The front and rear upper arms are made from a moulded composite material which is length adjustable, while the lower arms are carbon fibre plate, with all arms using pivot ball mounting which ensures free movement and extra adjustability. A new single piece design motor mount with Multi-Flex chassis adjustment features adjustable front and rear belt tensioners and battery backstops. The new lower bulkheads install with upper bulkheads with centering pin for a more reliable mounting. All this plus a whole lot of other changes.

ARC R8.3 & R8.3E adjustable front & rear shock base

From ARC, the adjustable front and rear shock base are the latest option parts designed for the R8.3 and R8.3E. This allows the shock angle to be adjusted by adding or removing shims. Compared to traditional shock towers, racers can adjust the shock angle in much finer increments to better fine tune the handling of their car, the more shims below the shock absorber the harder the suspension. Both shock bases also feature a 3mm carbon brace that bridges the left and right sides of the shock base. This brace can be added or removed to adjust the flex of the front bulkhead. With the plate installed in the front there is an increase in initial corner speed, while when the rear version is installed there is an increase in rear end stability.
