Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced their new brass rear motor weight for the Xray XB4 1/10th 4WD buggy. Considered an essential option part the item weighs in at 26g and it sits just behind the motor and acts as a counter weight for the heavy LiPo battery that is located on the right hand side of the buggy. With the lighter motor the additional weight is needed to achieve a proper weight balance and thanks to its clever design it directly attaches to the chassis side guards using a single screw, meaning the weight is both easy to remove when needed while also securely fastened so it will not get thrown out of the chassis during severe track action. The weight is machined from high-quality brass, it comes with RDRP’s signature black and gold finish and it is a direct fit.
