Xray XB4’20 multi wheelbase aluminium chassis

Coming from Xray and made for the XB4’20 is a multi wheelbase aluminium chassis. Machined from high-quality 2.5mm 7075-T6 aluminium and coming black anodised for surface protection the chassis allows to use two different wheelbase settings, a shorter one for increased car rotation in corners on high-grip tracks while the longer wheelbase setting, that shifts the rear bulkhead towards thew rear, increases stability in low-traction conditions. The chassis also features strategically placed milled-out section to achieve the desired flex characteristics without harming overall stability.

JConcepts have announced the release of their popular Octagons 2.2” buggy tyres in “silver” compound. Developed for high-bite slick tyre racing, the tyres feature a heavy X-pattern style inner ribbing for increased support while the continuous thickness carcass is lightweight and utilises the industry standard 2.2” mounting bead. Like the name suggests, the embossed tread which is Octagon-shaped is repeated and overlapped to form a subculture of grippy surface edges for dry or abrasive surfaces. The Octagons are available as 2WD front, 4WD front and 2WD/4WD rear variant in aqua, green, black, gold and now also silver compound to match just about any racing surface. Each package includes the Dirt-Tech inserts.
