Having recently released a specific MTC2 servo, Power HD has today announced the release of their Xray X4 specific servo called the S15-X. With the integrated mount and reverse receiver wire output, this S15-X could perfectly mount to the X4 directly. Having lower gravity centre and neater wiring, S15-X is superior in performance to the PGB-S15, and can be programmed with the Power HD program box to set your favourite parameters according to different tracks.

Coming from T-Works and made for the Xray X4 and for the Mugen MTC2 is a 11g and 10g tungsten balance weight respectively. The use of the heavy material allows for a low profile design while still adding a good amount of weight compared to brass weights with the adhesive backside ensuring easy mounting of the weight in the under-motor pocket of the chassis. The weight comes laser-engraved for easy identification and is usable with both aluminium and carbon fibre chassis.

From OfficinaRC for the Xray X4, these brass 6mm pivot balls are made in Italy with the best machinery and by expert craftsmen with many years of experience. The brass used, thanks to its characteristics, guarantees maximum sliding by minimising the friction of the pivot ball in the arm. The weight is very similar to that of the original versions.

From T-Works for the Mugen MTC2 is this range of roll centre spacers. The roll centre spacers simply slide between the bulkheads and the chassis for quick adjustment. Available for both the front and rear of the car, they come in 1mm and 0.5mm variants.

Axon have released their new high big bore shock III for the Mugen MTC2. This oil damper has been well received in the TC10, their BD10 conversion, but one of the major changes they have made for the MTC2 is the piston. A 1.2mm/4-hole piston is now standard and a newly designed cylinder and piston rod with ultra-low friction HVF coating are also supplied. These new shocks maximise the performance of your MTC2 by helping to increase traction.

Up front the wider foam bumper provides better body shell support & improved crash protection and the updated front suspension sports adjustable steering lock limiters. Other updates include a new steel arm brace for increased arm strength and a new low profile lightweight bushings installed in graphite plates replacing the traditional nuts for a sleeker look and lower CG. The solid axle is now standard in the EU Edition with 1.0° kingpins included in the US Edition for improved drivability out of the box on high traction.
