Xpress release new XQ1 & XM1 carbon optionals

Coming from Xpress are new carbon fibre option parts for the XQ1 and XM1 series of cars. First up is a graphite body post stiffener set for the XQ1 series of 1/10th touring cars. The carbon fibre plates will reduce body movement in corners for increased stability while the C-shape of the rear plate also reinforces the body’s trunk area, resulting in improved body support and thus downforce at high speeds. The set includes one front and one rear body post support and it is also available for the XM1 series of 4WD M-class cars. Also new is an optional graphite steering knuckle plate set for the XM1 and XM1S cars. The parts will make for a stiffer steering structure which in turn gives a sharper steering response and feeling. Owners will need to install a 2mm bumpsteer shim to get the same amount of bumpsteer as with the stock steering plate. The plates also feature an extra Ackermann mounting position that will increase the aggressiveness of the steering response, which is perfect for asphalt tracks.
