Viking Design Works D216 adjustable battery brace

Coming from Viking Design Works and made for HB Racing’s D216 buggy is an adjustable lateral battery brace. The 2-piece design is made up using an upper and lower plate with both plates interlocking using a backbone to precisely guide the plates for on-the-fly battery position adjustment. It moves forwards and backwards utilising the stock carbon brace with new hardware included in the kit. The 3-D-printed brace is also considerably wider which gives a more precise fit on the battery while also creating more surface area by design, thus stiffening the chassis of the car immensely.

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products is the Ultra Servo Mount for Xray’s XB2 platform buggies and trucks. Designed to replace the kit’s plastic servo mounting brackets and by using machined aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminium and machined carbon fibre, the assembly greatly improves the overall rigidity of the servo area which results in a more precise steering feeling especially when running on high-bite surfaces. The alloy mounts sport RDRP’s new signature finned look for a low weight while the heavily machined carbon fibre upper brace further adds to the all-out factory looks. The servo mount is available in black and orange anodising and it fits the XB2 and XT2 series kits.
