Xray XB2 steering knuckle Ackermann plates

Xray have introduced new steering knuckle Ackermann plates for the XB2 2WD buggy. Adding to the standard “long” plate are middle and short plates that help to fine-tune the Ackermann angle during cornering. While the standard “2-slot” plate creates a mild steering response the optional 1-slot and 0-slot plates make for a more aggressive steering feeling with the short 0-plate being the most aggressive, making it ideal for tight and technical tracks. The plates are cut from 2.5mm carbon fibre, they come in pairs and are usable both on the left and right hand steering knuckle.

Xray XB2 1.5mm Lexan rear wing

Coming from Xray and made for the XB2 2WD buggy is an extra strong rear wing made from genuine Lexan material. The thicker 1.5mm polycarbonate material makes for increased stability, durability and lifespan of the wing and it can also improve traction due to more efficient aerodynamics, but at the same time steering might be slightly reduced. The wing fits the XB2 and all buggies with comparable wing mounts.

Xray XB2 Multi-Flex graphite battery strap

Xray have introduced the Multi-Flex battery strap for the XB2 buggy. The assembly utilises of a carbon fibre battery strap and an adjustable linkage that spans from the strap towards the motor cage. This allows the chassis to flex torsionally but the linkage stiffens up the car in longitudinal direction. This graphite battery strap together with the adjustable linkage is recommended for the use in high- to very-high track conditions.
