RDRP XB2 brass & aluminium 26 degree front bulkheads

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products are new 26 degree front bulkheads for the Xray XB2 and XT2 kits. The overall design and material used greatly improves durability while also giving a more solid base for the inner hinge pins and additional weight, resulting in improved lower A-arm support on high-bite to very high-bite tracks. The bulkheads sport laser-etched markings for easy identification with the brass item weighing in at 45g while the alloy item only is a fraction heavier than the standard composite part. As with all of RDRP’s Xray-specific alloy parts the bulkheads are available in either orange or black anodising.

RDRP XB2 brass servo & chassis weights

Available now from Revolution Design Racing Products are the XB2 brass servo and chassis weights. Starting with the chassis weight, it is purpose-designed for Xray’s XB2 and XT2 series of off-road vehicles, made from high-quality brass material and is a direct fit in the vehicle’s electronics compartment. The plate is held in place using the kit’s standard battery mount posts and it slightly raises the electronics but at the benefit of additional 36g of weight that keep the vehicle more planted in high bite or bumpy track conditions. Fixed by only two screws it also allows to easily remove the electronics, such as the receiver and speed controller, for cleaning and maintenance.

RDRP XB4 brass rear motor weight

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new brass rear motor weight for the Xray XB4 1/10th 4WD buggy. Considered an essential option part the item weighs in at 26g and it sits just behind the motor and acts as a counter weight for the heavy LiPo battery that is located on the right hand side of the buggy. With the lighter motor the additional weight is needed to achieve a proper weight balance and thanks to its clever design it directly attaches to the chassis side guards using a single screw, meaning the weight is both easy to remove when needed while also securely fastened so it will not get thrown out of the chassis during severe track action. The weight is machined from high-quality brass, it comes with RDRP’s signature black and gold finish and it is a direct fit.
