Xray XB4 aluminium shock towers

Xray have introduced new aluminium shock towers for the XB4 series of buggies. The parts are machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium and they come black anodised for wear and looks. The front tower features lowered upper shock mounting positions and an overall lower design for an optimised centre of gravity while the rear tower matched the shock positions of the carbon fibre part, however it sports new outer wing mount positions that allow to shift the rear wing up and down to adjust the aerodynamic balance of the buggy. The 3mm thick shock towers offer increased overall stiffness compared to the carbon fibre parts for an easier to drive and more predictable car when running in high-bite track conditions.
