Xceed RC Carbon fibre Setup board
Xceed RC have released their super lightweight carbon fibre setup board. Made using 2 sheets of carbon that sandwich a special honey comb structure, and finished off with a green silicone around the edges, the plate is very stiff and flat, yet is extremely light. Coming in at 37cm x 47cm and only 1cm thick, this board is perfect for those racers that travel a lot, but prefer to not give most of the baggage allowance away to their conventional setup board.
