Xray X1 graphite front brace

Made for the use in high traction conditions is this graphite front brace for the Xray X1 formula car. Cut from 2.5mm carbon fibre sheet and coming with mounting hardware the brace makes for a less aggressive steering feeling on grippy surfaces as it stiffens up the front end assembly by connecting the lower wishbones.
