Xray T2 008 Alu Chassis Brace Categories - Xray, Accessories, On Road, Products - add a comment 
Xray have released this Alu chassis brace for T2′008, which has been CNC-machined from high-grade aluminium. It is recommended for carpet tracks with medium to super-high traction. Also suggested to use when the used tires have a lot of natural traction (for example soft compound tires) but also for tires which have type of insert which create a lot of air inside the tire. This will make the car easier to drive with smoother steering and the car will not “stop” in the corner.
