Xray XB4 Alpha lightweight body shell

Coming from Xray and made for the XB4 1/10th scale buggy is the new Alpha lightweight body shell. The lid was designed to offer ultra-smooth airflow and increased steering and stability all while ensuring optimised jump handling. The front of the body features a new high-downforce area while the sides also ensure great downforce while the straight sidewalls improve overall stability. In addition to this comes a roof feature that channels the air towards the rear wing. The lightweight body will lower the overall centre of gravity for more nimble handling and less chassis rolling in corners.
