They do..

Main changes were, thicker material, Carbon Flex as an option and extra row of camber holes too by popular request

I've got the carbon flex ones on my car, only done one meeting with them so far, but no problems at all & I crashed a few times going fast:thumbsup:

Whats the extra brace you have and who did your skin?

AJ Roberts 18-06-2013 07:04 PM

It's a brace I made up to add strength to the bulkhead, the skin came off eBay, from a Polish company call RC Colours

Can't beat having a go at making your own parts though, it only took 20mins to knock up the brace using my Dremel. Next is a V2 made out of 3mm alloy :thumbsup:

Yep.....made our first front braces out of 2mm pre peg Carbon sheets.
Braces for the rear of the front bulkhead was made out of a 2mm aluminum 90 degree angle connecting the bulkhead to the top deck mounts.
This was done 1-2 weeks after the release of the XB4.

Now with the V2 bulkheads we only run the front brace with 4mm towers.

Although my homemade ones have performed flawlessly for months I now prefer to buy machined ones as the fit and finish are a step up from mine :blush:;)
