Samix BD7-2015 carbon fibre chassis kit

Samix have a new carbon fibre main chassis for the Yokomo BD7-2015 available. Made from soft matte finish carbon fibre material the chassis is only 82mm wide for improved ground clearance during heavy cornering. The soft weave makes for more torsional flex which can help increase overall grip and traction in certain track conditions. Also included is an aluminium fan mount for 30mm units that also incorporates a routing channel for the connection wire.

Spec-R T4-15 floating steering conversion kit

Coming from Spec-R and made for the Xray T4-15 touring car is a floating steering conversion kit. Making use of a redesigned upper servo mount plate and new orange anodised aluminium steering posts the set removes the kit’s steering assembly from the main chassis in favour of a “floating” design. The result is a more freely flexing chassis and less influence of the chassis’ flex on the steering angle during cornering. The conversion bolts right onto the standard inner servo mount and it is available now.
