Xray XB4 free upgrade package

Xray XB4 free upgrade package

In a commendable display of customer service, Xray will be giving out this upgrade package to current XB4 owners for free. “Despite the long term performance and durability testing to which the Xray XB4 was subjected by the factory and R&D team, several XB4 customers have reported minor issues in crash situations. Xray has been well known to fully stand behind their products and is known for providing first class customer service and support. Even though the reported issues have affected only a small portion of XB4 owners, Xray felt that it would be prudent to provide a free XB4 upgrade package to all XB4 owners through the shop where the kit was originally purchased.”

Xray T4 1.6mm graphite upper deck

Xray T4 1.6mm graphite upper deck

From Xray for the T4 is this new graphite upper deck. To generate even more traction, the new 1.6mm top deck was developed to increase traction and in-corner steering. With the thinner top deck, the car will flex more which generates overall more traction. The top deck is a direct replacement for standard 2mm top deck and is suitable for both carpet and asphalt surfaces.
