Xray X4 CFF Front/Rear Lower Arms

Xray has released new CFF (Carbon Fibre Fusion) lower arms for its X4 1:10 Electric Touring Car. The lower suspension arms feature optimised flexing under dampening and with the shock being mounted in the middle of the arm, the load is evenly distributed onto the suspension arm, which increases the mechanical traction, and response of the car. Graphite hardness of the lower suspension arms is recommended for carpet tracks and even for some high traction asphalt conditions. These will provide the most consistent handling and will make the car more free in corners compared to when H or M arms are used.
