Xray T3 low friction chassis & top deck

New from Xray for their T3 chassis is this 2mm chassis which was developed to provide the best possible traction for low-traction conditions. The thinner chassis allows the car to flex more which generates more overall traction. To generate even more traction, the new 2mm chassis can be combined with the new 1.6mm top deck which was developed to increase traction and in-corner steering. With the thinner top deck, the car will flex more which generates overall more traction. The top deck is a direct replacement for standard 2mm top deck.

Avid B4 aluminium steering bellcranks are machined from billet 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, black anodized, and laser etched for a premium look.

These aluminium bellcranks eliminate flex in the steering system for maximum steering feel. They also eliminate the plastic servo saver which can fail and cause DNFs. Associated ace Ryan Maifield installed the Avid bellcranks on his B4 and went on to take the win at the Winter Midwest Championships in Columbus, Ohio.
