Xray have released this teaser image of their upcoming RX8 refresh for 2022. As you can see in the image the front shock tower has been deleted, like in the company’s X4, and in this case is now mounted directly to the front bulkhead.

Exotek F1 front & rear lightweight wings

Exotek Racing have produced these extra light front and rear wings for 1/10 F1 cars such as the Exotek F1 Ultra, X1 and F104 etc. The front wing is moulded nylon with a higher mounting base reducing the chance of dragging on the track and unsettling the car. At 18grams, lighter weight helps with that as well as reducing weight that overhangs past the wheels that also unsettles the car. The rear wing comes in at 21grams and has extra large wing elements for maximum aero downforce. Molded with a black lower base and white wing element for higher visibility.
