Xray 12g pure Tungsten chassis balance weight

Xray have introduced their new 12g pure Tungsten chassis balance weight for the T4 2020 mid-motor car. Due to being made of super heavy Tungsten material the weight is smaller than a comparable 12g brass weight, meaning it takes less space, ensuring an ultra low centre of gravity and allowing to fine-tune the car’s weight balance with ease. The weight sports a laser-engraved Xray logo and it is best mounted using ultra-thin double-sided tape.
