Xray XB4’23 Carbon Fibre Chassis Side Guards

Xray has released new carbon fibre chassis side guards for their XB4’23 1:10 4WD Buggy. The moulded carbon fibre side guards are extremely light with more than a 50% weight reduction compared to standard composite side guards while providing more rigidity. These side guards are stiffer in the longitudinal direction to improve stability but still allow for some chassis twist that can help generate traction. Moulded from high-quality carbon fibre, the side guards perfectly fit the chassis plate to seal against dirt and protect from side impacts. To improve protection against dust, Velcro double-sided tape is included to ensure a perfect seal of the body to the side guards, and to reduce the noise level during operation. The set includes left and right side guards.

Racing on the tight track, Hamon, winner of the recent 1:8 GT Worlds Warm-up race, qualified third behind Nicholson with John Puse fourth. Opening with the win in A1 of the triple A-Mains A2 would see a DNF as Bakla took the win. All to play for in A3, Hamon got to the front early and despite Bakla having the fastest car on track, he kept him at bay to win and secure the title.
