Xray XB8 carbon fibre chassis side guards

For the XB8, Xray have released these moulded carbon fibre chassis side guards. Carbon fibre side guards are stiffer in the longitudinal direction to improve stability but still allow for some chassis twist that can help generate traction. Moulded from high-quality carbon fibre, the side guards perfectly fit the chassis plate to seal against dirt and protect from side impacts. The set includes left and right side guards. The side guards fit XB8, XB8E, XT8, and XT8E from year 2016 onwards.

With the next year being a Euros and Worlds year, and on territories that I already have some experience, I felt like it was a no brainer to jump on board with them and help in anyway Can’t wait to get on track and start creating new and exciting memories with all the Xray family!’
