Xray X4 ’26 2.0mm Carbon Upper Deck

Xray has released this optional one-piece 2.0mm top deck for their X4 ’26 1:10 Electric Touring Car.  Machined from high-grade USA made carbon material, the shape of the top deck has been specifically designed to achieve maximum traction and great steering characteristics at the same time.  The one-piece top deck features milled holes for special tweak-free top deck screws and works with the centre layshaft location in the middle of the chassis.  As a set-up option it is mainly recommended for low to medium grip conditions as the top deck increases the chassis flex, which helps generate more mechanical grip.  Initial steering response is reduced, making the car more forgiving to drive.  Featuring milled holes for special tweak-free top deck screws it works with the centre layshaft location in the middle of the chassis.  The top deck can be connected to the motor mount using several screw mounting configurations.
