Xray have introduced new graphite composite steering blocks for the XB2 and XT2 line of off-road buggies and trucks. Moulded from a special composite material that uses graphite to further reinforce the parts, the steering knuckles are harder than the previous “hard” compound for improved rigidity, making them ideal in high to very high grip track conditions where they can improve stability and corner speed.

In addition the pivot ball mount was lowered by 1mm for increased toe angle adjustability.
