Coming from Vigor RC and made for Xray’s XB2 ’16 and ’17 are a carbon fibre chassis and a battery brace. Starting with the chassis, the part is machined from high-quality 2.5mm carbon fibre and it is designed to replace the standard aluminium chassis. The lightweight material saves about 30 percent of weight with the carbon fibre chassis weighing in at about 86g. It fits the carpet and dirt edition kits, allows the use of several battery positions and it includes a protective chassis skin and mounting hardware.
Vigor have introduced new fine-tune bulkhead spacers for the Yokomo BD7-2016 car as well as high-grip steering wheel pads. Staring with the spacer set, already introduced in 1.0mm and 1.5mm specification the new 0.5mm and 0.8mm set allows for finer steps of bulkhead and motor mount raising. Using the spacers improves chassis flex and roll, meaning greater traction depending on the track conditions. As for the high-grip steering wheel pads, the rings are made of a special soft plastic that is available in eight colours and that is very easy to clean despite the bright colours.

CNC-machined from 7075 aluminium and coming black anodised and with machined silver details the add-on protectors are meant to increase the airflow pressure while adding cooling surface, which can lead to an eight to ten percent lower ESC temperature. The protector is available for 25mm and 30mm fans.
