Xray XB2 Multi-Flex graphite battery strap

Xray have introduced the Multi-Flex battery strap for the XB2 buggy. The assembly utilises of a carbon fibre battery strap and an adjustable linkage that spans from the strap towards the motor cage. This allows the chassis to flex torsionally but the linkage stiffens up the car in longitudinal direction. This graphite battery strap together with the adjustable linkage is recommended for the use in high- to very-high track conditions.
