Coming from Xray and made for their XB2 series of buggies is the DIV front wing. Moulded from high-quality Lexan material the wing is of a multi-purpose design, allowing to mount it in front or behind the front tower and thus front axles, with the mounting positions having an influence on weight distribution, centre of gravity as well as downforce. Pre-marked dimples help with easy and straight attachment while different gurney heights help to fine-tune aerodynamics.
Available now from Leadfinger Racing is the Tactic A2 body shell for the Xray XB2 2WD buggy. Like the A2 Tactic bodies before it, the XB2 body has an added roof vent that allows for better cooling for today’s sensitive electronics. Running cooler has it’s advantages and feeding cool air directly over the power house is a welcomed upgrade. Behind that, LFR has designed a top fin that joins into a rear swoop for added stability and increased rear down force. The combination of the two help give the XB2 a balanced and precise feel during mid corner rotation and on power exit. The all-new optional nose scoop for the XB2 has been designed specifically for the ’18 and ’19 Xray models. The scoop is designed to enhance steering and jumping capabilities to the front of the car. LFR has designed the scoop to not only be an effective advantage, but also finish off the XB2 with a much cleaner over all aggressive look. The body sold in clear, ready for paint, and including two pre-cut Tactic wings as well as stickers and window masks.

Vigor RC have announced the release of carbon fibre centre link sets for the Xray T4 2017 to 2019 and Yokomo BD9 touring cars. The set includes 1mm, 1.5mm and 2.2mm centre links that allow to tune the pitch and roll stiffness of the chassis by simply swapping the links, with the thinner parts allowing for more flex while the stiffer braces reduce overall flex. The sets are available separately for the T4 and BD9.

Coming from Xray is the new TEC rear wing for the XB2 buggy. The stylish and effective wing is of a flat design, helping to increase rotation into corners and adding rear traction coming out of corners.

Xray have introduced their new lightweight body shell for the XT2 stadium truck as well as extra strong rear wings for the same body. Starting with the lid, it is moulded from 0.75mm polycarbonate material for a low weight and thus a lower overall centre of gravity. Using the lightweight body will reduce body roll in high-grip track conditions for a more predictable handling and faster lap times. The body is usable with all of the truck’s possible rear shock layouts and it comes including window masks.
