Chassis.

The chassis plate is updated for mounting the new covered receiver box, electronics plate and the new battery trays. The updated layout with new positions for the electronics and batteries helps improve weight balance.

Shock Towers.

New Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum shock towers feature lowered shock mounting positions for both the front and rear suspension. The lower mounting positions increase the overall stability of the car across all surfaces, as well as help increase cornering speeds. By carefully selecting the new tower geometry, the single row of shock mounting positions simplifies the set-up process to optimize performance for any track condition.

Shocks.

The new XB8E shock bodies and shock shafts were shortened to match the new lowered shock towers and lowered mounting geometry, while maintaining proper suspension travel.
The shorter XB8E shocks carry over multi-adjustable 3-in-1 shock caps with 4 bleed holes with 3 different seal choices – ribbed membrane, cell membrane, or O-ring. The shorter shocks feature 3 different assembly alternatives – emulsion / rebound / zero rebound, with each one suitable for different track conditions.

Shock Cap 3-in-1.

3-in-1 shock caps allow assembly in 3 different configurations – emulsion / rebound / zero rebound, each suitable for different track conditions.

Electronics Plate.

The all-new electronics plate was redesigned to feature a covered receiver box and updated ESC plate. The receiver box provides more protection for the receiver and all connected cables in harsh conditions common to 1/8 racing, while limiting the amount of dust entering the box.
The box was designed in a way to maintain clearance for the servo arm to ensure full steering movement. The updated plate moves the ESC towards the rear of the car to fit the new receiver box and improve the overall handling of the car.

The shorter battery trays accommodate the latest shorty and mid-size battery packs while moving the weight more rearward to improve rear traction and stability.

Center Diff Top Deck.

Redesigned central top deck features mounting locations for the all-new cable management brackets.

Composite Cable Holders.

The all-new composite cable holders provide clean cable management, limiting the risk of cables getting stuck in gears or unplugging the battery connectors. Once assembled, the cable holders improve the overall look and cleanliness of the battery and motor wires.
