PSM TB Evo7 DTC aluminium main chassis plate

Posted: 17 Dec 2019 09:54 AM PST

PSM from Germany have introduced their new DTC aluminium main chassis plate for the Tamiya TB Evo7 touring car. Machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised for wear and looks, the chassis’s DTC Delta Traction Characteristics provide soft torsional flex characteristics along with consistent performance. The softer flex allows the car to generate more mechanical grip, which is very helpful especially in low grip conditions and/or very tight tracks while at the same time, a special manufacturing process keeps the longitudinal and lateral tweak of the chassis at a very minimum for the most predictable handling.

Xray XB4’20 large volume diff 41T steel bevel gear

Posted: 17 Dec 2019 02:15 AM PST

Coming from Xray and made for their XB4 2020 1/10th scale 4WD buggy is a 41T steel bevel gear. Designed for the use with the kit’s large volume differential, the precision-cut gear is best used when smaller front tyres are run, as the 41T bevel gear will result in an overdrive characteristic that will help to compensate for the larger rear tyres. The split design of the gear differential features a separate lightweight crown gear and a separate diff cover. The split design results in significantly lower weight and allows for easier maintenance and setup. The crown gear is CNC-machined from spring steel and ultra-hardened, making it super strong, reliable and very durable.
