NathoBuilds XB4 & B74 LCG brass chassis flex plates

New to NathoBuilds is their LCG brass chassis flex plates for the XB4 and B74. The weight attaches directly onto the rear and front chassis brace, replacing the standard carbon fibre braces. This adds weight to the buggy, which can be fine tuned with the ‘pro set’ that will help with the weight of the rear and front of the buggy when using lightweight batteries or when running in bumpy track conditions. The weights can also help to find traction in very low grip conditions while countering traction rolling in very high-bite astro turf or indoor carpet racing. CNC machined from high-quality brass material which is sourced in Australia and is individually hand polished.
