Leadfinger Racing XB4 A2 Tactic body shell

Coming from Leadfinger Racing and made for the popular Xray XB4 buggy is the A2 Tactic body shell. It shows design influenced from LFR’s 1/8th scale bodies with an aggressive and sleek style. The windshield has been laid down to remove the steep rake, while at the same time keeping a modern cab forward feel. The top of the cab has an added roof vent for superior cooling that pushes air flow over the centre diff and motor, further enhancing its style and performance. To help keep everything planted, the rear of the cab has the traditional swoop along with added down force ailerons on the top of the side pods. The use of mounting posts have been deleted, and the body has been specifically designed for the use as a velcro only application. The new A2 Tactic body comes in clear with window masks and stickers provided and including two suitable rear wings.

Axial Method MR307 Hole 1.9” crawler wheels

Axial’s new Method MR307 Hole is a fresh take on the classic hole-wheel design that dominated early off-road racing. Just like the Double Standard and NV, the Hole features a simulated beadlock ring by way of a strategically placed under-cut on the outer lip of the wheel. The officially licensed Method Hole wheels are replicated in true form for durability and a clean line look, moulded in a magnesium grey colour with a satin chrome beadlock rim.
