New from Xray for the X4 is this optional aluminium steering block CNC-machined from premium lightweight T6 aluminium. Ultra-strong construction, it provides very long life and durability in even the most extreme racing conditions. A direct replacement for the standard composite hubs, using the steering blocks in an aluminium material reduces flex, improves consistency and will free up the car, mainly for high grip conditions and especially in spec racing classes. The X4 hub features new suspension geometry for improved steering and traction and contain an updated drive axle that moves the driveshaft pivot point deeper into the hub, in line with the hub’s rotational axis between the upper and lower arm. This alignment improves driveline efficiency and handling. The aluminium front steering plates and rear ARS plates are easily mounted depending on the hub’s location and the design of the hub is universal with the same part used at all four corners with corresponding extensions.

Exotek Racing have introduced these hard anodised 7075 alloy idler gears for the complete Xray XB2 series of gear boxes. Available in 38T, 36T and 25T, they are a must have for high powered racing applications. This is much stronger than the stock plastic idler gear but not indestructible so it is important to use black or white grease on the gears and reapply frequently to prolong its life along with proper slipper adjustments.

For the XB8, Xray have released these moulded carbon fibre chassis side guards. Carbon fibre side guards are stiffer in the longitudinal direction to improve stability but still allow for some chassis twist that can help generate traction. Moulded from high-quality carbon fibre, the side guards perfectly fit the chassis plate to seal against dirt and protect from side impacts. The set includes left and right side guards. The side guards fit XB8, XB8E, XT8, and XT8E from year 2016 onwards.

From Xray come these CNC-machined nickel coated brass weights specially designed for the X4. Mounted straight onto the motor mount in 3 spots, adding the weights to the motor mount wont compromise chassis space or flex. The weights are secured using 2.5x8mm screws and are added to the middle of the car which ensures no effect on the front to rear weight bias.
