Xray have introduced the graphite floating servo mount for the T4’15 and T4’16 cars. Machined from high-quality carbon fibre the plate allows to run the car’s steering assembly in four different configurations to alter the flex characteristic of the front part of the chassis. Beside the kit standard, with the steering bellcranks mounted to the chassis, the bellcranks can also be attached to the floating servo mounting plate so chassis flex does not longer has influence the steering angle. The latter makes the car easier to driver in high-traction conditions and on very bumpy tracks. To further alter the flex settings of the chassis, Xray #302570 steering plate can be used to connect the bellcranks with the servo mounting plate when run in standard configuration. Included with the carbon fibre plate come short aluminium standoffs for the floating steering system and more information on the available flex settings can be found here.
