Bittydesign Force body for XB9

Bittydesign have released the new Force body for the Xray XB9 buggy. Recently shown at the Euros in Austria, the new body is a real good alternative to the existing stock body. Italian Xray Factory driver Alessandro Stocco used the new body during qualifying at the Euros and his impressions were really good saying the car had more steering in low speed corners but at same time was more stable on high speed turns compared to the standard body. The big fin on the roof and the rear engine ‘reverse scoop’ section complete the look of this new cab forward body. Made from high quality 1mm thick Lexan polycarbonate, it is sold with window masks, decal sheet and protective film.

Xray NT1 progressive springs

From Xray for the NT1 these new progressive springs are soft at the beginning of the compression but become harder as the spring is compressed more in the middle, with the hardest at the end. Pearl-grey color and laser engraved for easy identification they are available as a pair, with the springs individually measured, controlled, inspected and matched to provide identical damping characteristics. During the selection process, each spring is compressed in several fine increments and the values are recorded. Each spring is then matched with another spring of identical characteristics.
