MiBorg X4 RCV driveshafts

MiBorg presents its innovative RCV driveshaft designed to Xray X4. A steel-to-steel interface between wheel axle and bearing hopes to provide less play and less bearing wear compared to the original assembly. It’s combined with the MiBorg original pin less wheel axle adapters for a better wheel concentricity. The driveshaft centre of rotation is aligned with the steering axis to ensure an easy handling of the car. The RCV concept is still utilizing the design of full-scale cars, and is an advantageous alternative to ‘double joint’ shafts. The very high level of accuracy and durability offers no play and no wear run after run. The driveshaft use balls instead of cross pins to drive the wheel axle, which results in less vibration even with high steering angles.

Arrowmax 4D setup system for 1/8 on-road

Arrowmax’s all-new 4D setup system will be available for the 8th scale on-road classes. The Set-Up System allows you to measure and adjust camber, caster, toe-in/out, track width and steering angle symmetry with high precision. It is a hassle when racers have to remove the rear end of their body post in order to check the toe-in of their 8th scale on-road cars. With that in mind, we have decided to innovate a completely new system and design to allow users to enjoy a smoother operation throughout their setup process. Another key element they have added is for users to measure the track width using the 4D setup system. The built-in ruler allows user to check the distance between the hexes, resulting in a much better understanding of their car setup. The reading of toe-in/out are now measured on the laser-engraved 7075 CNC body without the long and bulky acrylic plate. Giving a much precise measurement. The whole system is very small, light, and are designed with a purpose to improve the quality of life. Storage and transportation becomes less of a hassle.

Fenix Racing pan car gear differential Mk2

Fenix Racing have introduced their new pan car gear differential Mk2. With their original gear diff released back in 2016 it was about time for an update version. It sports a completely new right hub, with the main bearings distance almost doubled, to ensure better trueness, while the inner bearing is now flanged, promoting the orthogonality of the assembly. They add a massive thrust bearing to the diff, because since 2016 motors have improved as well and they want to also be future proof. Gears stay the same as does the grade 5 Titanium axle, with a carbon fibre version to follow.
