Xray have released all-new hard XB9 suspension arms moulded from a new blend of their own proprietary composite material. After extensive testing of dozens of different hard composite mixtures, the factory team identified this new blend as the choice for mass production. The new hard suspension arms are specifically designed to be used in extremely hot conditions. The new harder composite will reduce flex and deformation in these extreme heat conditions, however, due to the reduced flex, they are also less resistant to extreme impacts. The new suspension arms are also longer providing increased stability.

Sweep are proud to announce the release of the Birdie body shell for the Xray XB9 buggy. Great care was taken to refine the design in order to achieve a body that creates maximum stability with enhanced steering feeling and increased airflow to lower the engine temperature. Sweep factory team driver Reno Savoya was full of praise after the initial test and he attests the body plenty of traction in high speed sweeper sections, and a smooth and stable cornering making the Birdie ideal for open tracks like the World Championship track in Argentina or Cnetic in Indonesia.
