Xray X4F 2.0mm Graphite Upper Deck

Xray has released this one-piece carbon Multi-Flex top deck for its X4F 1:10 FWD Touring Car platform. It features a narrow shape for easier installation, improved handling characteristics and features 8 different flex options. The one-piece top deck offers increased flex, which makes the car softer which is suggested especially for low traction conditions where it removes a bit of initial steering but generates more mechanical traction. The top deck can be modified by making additional cuts, to provide more additional flex set-up options. Produced from high grade USA made carbon fibre, the machined ultra-precise top deck screws ensure the top deck is mounted completely tweak-free to improve flex characteristics. The shape of the top deck is specifically designed to achieve maximum traction and great steering characteristics at the same time.

Over the triple A-Main, the first encounter would see King make an aggressive move that resulted in contact with Dai that saw them finish 3rd and 2nd respectively. In A2 King would retire after the first minute as Dai took the win from the Xray of Ren Jing Feng who qualified 5th on the grid. While King finally converted pole position into the win in A3 on this occasion from Feng with Dai P3, overall however second in A1 and the win in A2 was enough for Dai to take over the title of Chinese National Champion from Fangzhou “Rocket” Zhang who won on the return of the Nationals last year after a 3-year absence of the event.
