RDRP XB2 Ultra Servo Mount

Posted: 14 Apr 2017 07:58 AM PDT

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.
