Xray have introduced their black colour aluminium ball bearings hubs for the front and rear bulkheads of the T4 touring car. Formerly only available in orange colour, the new variants feature a black surface coating and white laser-etched markings for easy identification and a cool new look. Using the aluminium hubs over the standard kit composite items will reduce natural drivetrain drag as the bearings are less pinched, resulting in a more free spinning drivetrain which is essential especially for stock racing classes. The hubs come in sets of two and they are usable on all T4 series cars.

Coming from RPM and made for the popular Traxxas X-Maxx truck is a roof skid rail set. Using the rails will protect the precious body when the 8kg truck tumbles on its roof, ensuring the polycarbonate shell will hold up longer even when excessively used. The roof skid pails are a simple add-on that bolts to the roof of the truck using three screws for each rail. Full-length under body support plates are included to prevent the rails from getting yanked off once the driver flips the monster X-Maxx. The rails are tested to work with Traxxas #7711, #7711A,  #7717G, #7711R and #7711X bodies only. They have not been tested nor are they guaranteed to work with any other Traxxas or aftermarket bodies.

RC Maker have introduced their new ESC wire organiser for the use with most brushless electronic speed controllers. Wiring is difficult, especially on the new mid motor chassis with the ESC behind the motor. The belt is in the way and there really isn’t much room. That is why the designers have gone and made it a whole lot easier for the drivers. 3-D-printed from high quality composite material, the wire organiser keeps all three motor wires, plus the sensor wire bunched together, and stuck down. The part is also very useful for keeping the wires organised in 1/12th on-road, and 1/10th off-road chassis and it accepts any wires, 12 gauge or smaller, and all sensor wires, flat or bunched. The organisers is usable floating or taped down using optional double sided tape.

Coming from Xray and made for their T4 2020 touring car is a solid aluminium chassis for high to very high bite track conditions. Machined from high-quality 2.0mm 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised for wear and looks the chassis is best used on high to very high grip carpet and asphalt track where the limited torsional flex can lead to an easier to drive, more stable and more predictable car while countering traction rolling at the same time. In addition and according to Xray‘s Jimmy Maddison the solid chassis can also help settling the car on bumpy tracks. The chassis allows to use the new longer as well as the older short-style suspension, it comes with white, laser-etched Xray logos and will hit stores very soon.
