GForce TB-04 aluminium steering & chassis parts

Japanese company GForce soon have a line of optional aluminium parts for the Tamiya TB-04 chassis available. First up is a steering set containing CNC-machined aluminium bellcranks and an aluminium steering link. The parts are made to improve the steering precision and to make for a more durable steering setup. Also new is an aluminium shock tower mount. It is useable on the front and rear and improves the rigidity and durability of the suspension, plus it makes for a more precise shock mount. Last but not least come front and rear chassis braces that reduce the torsional flex of the chassis. On top of that the parts improve the drivetrain efficiency as the prop shafts stays straighter and the chassis tends to flex less when low turn motors are used. All parts are made from high-quality aluminium and come blue anodised.

Smokem Racing introduce their XB4-RR carbon fibre shock towers for the Xray XB4 buggy. At 3.5mm thick, these 100% carbon fibre shock towers offer improved strength over the stock 3mm towers, yet not too thick so they won’t adversely affect the shock geometry of the 2014 car’s variable rear shock mounting system. Furthermore they have incorporated additional shock mounting and camber link holes to allow racers to further fine-tune the handling of their XB4 and XB4’14 buggies and fully explore its full potential.
