LCG Racing T4 2020 forward servo mount

This forward servo mount by LCG Racing, included in the SFX conversion, is now available separately for the Xray T4 2020. It fits the standard car as well as the SFX conversion and increases the stiffness of the front of the chassis. By decreasing the flex in the front, the car is more direct on corner entry, can provide more corner speed and makes the car easier to handle in medium-high to high grip conditions. The lightweight design of the aluminium part retains its rigidity while the design of the carbon fibre upper plate aims to minimise weight further.

Capricorn P10 SR 1:10th Pan car

Italian brand Capricorn have developed a new platform, a 1/10th pan car that is essentially a scaled down version of the 1/8th 4wd pan car they already produce. Called the P10 SR, it will run a 200mm standard width with 45mm wide rear tyres and 30mm front. Designed to accept a shorty pack or standard square style battery, you have the ability to run up to 3s. While the rear of the car is fixed and with a straight axle there is little to adjust, up front the flex can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the nuts on the front lower carbon plate for a different feeling if needed.
