Xray XB4 Adjustable Multi-Flex Steering System Brace

New for its European Championship winning XB4 1:10 4WD Buggy, Xray has released this Adjustable Multi-Flex Steering System Brace. This allows precise adjustment of steering characteristics by changing the mounting position of the servo saver pivot shafts to the chassis. Using the centre mounting holes only (Flex), attaching the shafts exclusively to the aluminum brace, generates a more aggressive steering response for tracks that require increased steering. Mounting through the outside holes with shims between the brace and chassis (Fix) provides balanced steering characteristics between the flex and full-fixed variants. Using both the outside holes with shims and the centre mounting holes together (Full Fix) creates the stiffest configuration, delivering precise, smoother steering that is ideal for fast or high-traction tracks.
