Xray XB2 gearbox height adjustment plates

Xray have introduced new carbon fibre gearbox height adjustment plates for the XB2 series of buggies. Machined from 2mm carbon fibre the plates are available in two designs, a T-shaped spacer to raise both the gearbox and rear suspension mounts by the same amount and also a smaller plate that only raises the gearbox. An optional -2mm aluminium motor plate will ensure the motor sits as low as possible, ensuring a low overall centre of gravity. Raising the gearbox, or lowering the chassis, will ensure optimised driveshaft angles, a lower centre of gravity and thus less rolling in corners in high to very high bite conditions. All parts are available separately to help create the desired setup.
