| Posted: 10 Feb 2020 04:33 AM PST Coming soon from X-Grip is their new Dynamic body lever V2, an accessory that attaches to the front suspension of electric touring cars such as the WRC STX.6 and Xray T4 and that helps to make body movement independent from chassis movement. The body lever is 3-D-printed from high-quality material, it weighs in at only 1.6g and it was designed to attach between the suspension C-hub and upper camber link ball. A special plastic screw adjusts the distance between the platform and the body shell so the body is resting on the platform, ensuring the front body height and ground clearance maintains constant even under chassis rolling and suspension compression. It is required to allow the front of the body to float on the body mounts which can be achieved by simply attaching the retaining body clip one or two positions higher than usual. The new V2 variant is of an updated design that allows to remove the lever part quicker if needed and it is usable with the WRC Racing STX.6, the Xray T4 and many other classic suspension touring cars.

The follow-up model from their highly successful C03 platform will feature many new upgrades such as an all-new 7075 aluminium chassis which will feature shiftable weights under the fuel tank area for increased weight balance and stability. Also new is the ability to change the rear geometry greatly with the lower arms now mounted in adjustable inserts for up to twelve different geometry settings.

Other new features include an updated upper deck with a new fuel tank mounted from the top for easy removal of the tank, the battery will be mounted on the left side of the upper deck for optimsed weight balance, and there will be the option to change the front flex from soft to hard for a greater set up window in different traction conditions.
