Xray T4 adjustable shorty battery holder & weights

Coming from Xray and made for their T4 line of touring cars is a fully adjustable shorty LiPo battery holder with weights. The set for shorty LiPo batteries allows to move the batteries front to rear by 4mm but also left to right for easy and comfortable weight transfer adjustment. The design of the battery mount also eliminates any negative chassis flex, making for a more equal left-to-right turning of the car. The included 40g brass weights set the battery in a central position for a perfect weight balance. In general, using a shorty battery with the low profile weights allows to lower the weight of the car which helps to make it easier to drive, more stable in the chicanes but in the same time it improves the rotation of the car. Xray recommended the layout especially for the modified class on carpet or small asphalt tracks.

Xray XB2 3mm aluminium shock towers

Xray have announced the release of new 3mm aluminium shock towers for the XB2 range of 2WD buggies. Machined from 3mm high-quality 7075-T6 material the shock towers are of an updated design with the front shock stay’s outer line being a tad smaller than the carbon part while retaining the standard shock geometry. The rear tower underwent a greater redesign with the inner shock mounting hole removed and an additional outer added. Also the shape is slightly different and a new lower wing mounting position has been added. The towers will improve drivability and precision when running on high-bite tracks and they are available separately from now on.

Xray XB4 aluminium shock towers

Xray have introduced new aluminium shock towers for the XB4 series of buggies. The parts are machined from high-quality 7075 aluminium and they come black anodised for wear and looks. The front tower features lowered upper shock mounting positions and an overall lower design for an optimised centre of gravity while the rear tower matched the shock positions of the carbon fibre part, however it sports new outer wing mount positions that allow to shift the rear wing up and down to adjust the aerodynamic balance of the buggy. The 3mm thick shock towers offer increased overall stiffness compared to the carbon fibre parts for an easier to drive and more predictable car when running in high-bite track conditions.
