Xray XB2 brass front bulkheads

Coming from Xray and made for the XB2 line of 1/10th 2WD buggies are two brass front bulkheads. Available as 26 degree and 23/29 degree variant the bulkheads not only help to adjust the front wishbones kick-up angle, they also add 46g of weight to the front most part of the chassis which can result in more on-power steering compared to running the standard composite blocks. Both bulkheads come laser-etched for easy identification with the 23/29 degree part requiring the use of the optional 23/29 degree aluminium front arm mount.

Xray XB4 lightweight bodyshell

Coming from Xray and made for the XB4 4WD buggy is a lightweight bodyshell. Moulded from thin Lexan material the body is around 40 percent lighter than the standard kit body and it is recommended for the use on high-bite tracks as it will lower the buggy’s centre of gravity and make for more agile rotation into corners while at the same time a rear fin will help with stability on high-speed sections. The body comes clear and including window masks.

Blaze Racing T4 alloy chassis & brass arm mount

Polish company Blaze Racing has introduced an aluminium main chassis plate for the Xray T4 as well as a brass front arm mount. Starting with the chassis, the part is cut from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminium and it features angled cut-outs in the battery and electronics area to improve torsional flex compared to the usual full-surface chassis. This can help to gain traction and cornerspeed especially in medium-grip conditions. The chassis comes in natural colour but further customisation with anodising or engravings are possible. The second new part is the brass front arm mount. The FF part is designed to work with the original composite suspension inserts and it is a welcomed tuning option for medium-high to high traction conditions. Both parts will become available very soon.
