Avid XB2 & XB4 FastTune titanium shock standoffs

Avid have introduced a set of titanium FastTune shock standoffs for Xray’s XB2 and XB4 line of 1/10th off-road kits. The FastTune feature allows to use a common 1.5mm Allen wrench to prevent the standoff from spinning while using a 5.5mm socket wrench on the other side, doing away with the need to use a 7.0mm nut driver or 7.0mm open-ended socket wrench to hold the standoff. The parts also scrub a certain amount of weight as each weighs in at about 1.25g. The set includes four standoffs that come in a reusable doodad container.

RDRP XB2 Ultra Servo Mount

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products is the Ultra Servo Mount for Xray’s XB2 platform buggies and trucks. Designed to replace the kit’s plastic servo mounting brackets and by using machined aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and machined carbon fibre, the assembly greatly improves the overall rigidity of the servo area which results in a more precise steering feeling especially when running on high-bite surfaces. The alloy mounts sport RDRP’s new signature finned look for a low weight while the heavily machined carbon fibre upper brace further adds to the all-out factory looks. The servo mount is available in black and orange anodising and it fits the XB2 and XT2 series kits.
