Exotek XB4 alloy & carbon option parts

Exotek have new option parts for Xray’s XB4 electric off-road buggy available in the form of an aluminium steering rack, alloy CVD safety cups and carbon battery straps. Starting with the steering rack, the part is machined from 7075 material and offers reduced flex over the original brace for a more direct steering input. The rack weights in at 4g, maintains the stock geometry and is available in orange or black colour. Next up are the CVD safety cups that keep the front, rear and centre driveshaft’s cross pins in place. They offer increased durability, are available in orange or black colour and give the buggy a factory team look. Last but not least come the carbon fibre battery straps. The parts are machined from 2.25mm material, they match with the original Xray carbon fibre and work with the kit’s or Exotek’s twist nuts.
