T-Works have released a complete line of split type top decks for the Xray X4. While the kit comes standard with a single piece top deck, you can now experiment with different flex settings as T-Works offer two front upper decks and two rear upper decks, both with different level of flex in addition to being able to use all or fewer of the mounting holes.

Xray have presented their new for 2022 XB4 1/10th electric 4wd buggy. Featuring a new chassis layout with centre slipper/diff, motor and battery moved significantly forward makes the car faster and easier to drive on any surface. It sports a unique one-way centre slipper with precisely adjustable slipper for more forward traction, less diving under braking and easier landings. The side guards have now symmetrical mounting to the chassis left and right and the chassis features multiple battery mounting positions with various O-ring diameters for every battery size. Sporting centre dogbones for better performance and less maintenance, their new front & rear diff outdrives with inner O-rings help eliminate damage in high impacts. There is also a redesigned servo holder and shorter radio plate that is fitted directly on chassis so it has no negative effect on chassis flex. The new aluminium centre bulkhead is designed to fit the new one-way centre slipper (carpet version) and the arm lengths for both carpet and dirt versions have been standardised with both kits coming with short length hard front arms and long hard rear arms in the hard composite. There is a new front graphite chassis T-Brace (carpet edition) to increase front stability on high traction tracks, making the car more predictable and easier to drive. The T-Brace is mounted via included aluminium posts to the chassis and to the front lower brace. And finally there is different centre upper top decks included in the Carpet and Dirt versions due to the dimensions of the one-way slipper vs gear diff

The new Willspeed RF2 conversion platform for the Xray XB2’20 & ’21 was designed and manufactured by engineers and racers alike for the true ultimate in performance on medium to high traction surfaces. The RF2 design focus’s on moving the weight bias forwards by utilising a 5 gear transmission that allows the motor position to be moved further forwards creating a smaller located area of main mass which aids to control weight transfer. The billet aluminium tub chassis is the ultimate in chassis design, the centre of gravity is super low, the chassis has no additional guards or stiffeners removing unwanted tweak and is self integrally stiff. The aluminium was selected for its natural dampening properties that not only allows for an incredibly agile platform but its also super predictable. The end result, a platform that not only loves corner speed but it is also dependable and predictable lap after lap making going fast, easy.
