Xray X4 Hard Composite Hub

Xray has added a hard composite precision molded hub for their X4 1:10 Electric Touring Car platform. Hard composite is softer than Graphite material and thus generates more mechanical grip on the car and improves side traction. Recommended for low-medium traction asphalt tracks and very-low grip carpet tracks. The hubs allow full adjustability of the axle height to adapt the car to every condition. The aluminium front steering plates and rear ARS plates are easily mounted depending on the hub’s location. The design of the hub is universal with the same part used at all four corners with corresponding extensions.
