Xray XB2C 2018 1/10th 2wd buggy

Xray have released the 2018 version of their XB2 carpet edition 2wd buggy. Featuring a number of refinements throughout, the first of which is the new chassis made from 2.5mm Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium whose special design ensures that different areas of the chassis have the proper flex. The precision milling allows the chassis to be stiff enough to perform properly without risk of bending. To improve front chassis flex, the front composite chassis braces were redesigned and shortened to allow for mounting all-new graphite side guard braces for better stability and performance. In the rear, the all-new narrower suspension holders with new rear suspension geometry gives increased rear traction. The gear differential has new diff-outdrives that are stronger as a result of a new hardening process that increases lifetime and reliability, and are now designed to be used with a new more durable 2.5mm pin on the drive shafts. Finishing off the improvements, are new 4.5mm off-set wheel hex hubs to compensate for the new narrow suspension holders and higher-precision shock absorber lower shims for more precise shock shaft movement.

Capricorn ONE restrictor set

Capricorn introduce the new ONE restrictor set. Provided in three different heights but all with 9mm diameter, the restrictors have been designed to be used on all Novarossi and OS on-road engines to fine tune the response of your engine. The shorter restrictor is meant to improve the bottom end power, while the longer one increases the top speed, all three giving different feelings to the user.

Thanks to the use of the latest F4 chassis and the asymmetrical top deck, the single piece motor mount can also be used as an option.
