Xray XB4 Graphite Narrow V2 Chassis Side Guards

Xray has added to its range of side guards for its XB4 4WD 1:10 Buggy with the release of a third option, the Graphite V2 Narrow Front Chassis Side Guards.  These have a narrow front profile and chamfered edges to reduce chassis scrub on jump entry, significantly improving consistency and handling over jump features.  These side guards are stiffer in the longitudinal direction to improve stability but still allow for some chassis twist that can help generate traction.  Coming as a set of a left and a right guard, they are made from premium-grade graphite material, the side guards are an important part of the chassis flex adjustment for the majority of track conditions.
