|
| Rear POD. |
|
| New 2-piece rear POD concept is positioned above the one-piece chassis. The new configuration is more adjustable with improved tweak resistance. The new POD plate is used to set droop, pod angle adjustment and supports the side springs. All-new rear spring location creates more forward traction and lowers CG. |

|
| Rear Wing Mount. |
|
| Rear wing mount is mounted directly to the one-piece chassis which allows to significantly reduce weight and simplified assembly. The aluminum wing mount increases durability and allows complete wing adjustment including height & angle. |

|
| Adjustable Wing Mounting System. |
|
The adjustable wing mount system is a unique new feature of the X1. The aluminum wing mount is attached directly to the chassis with the carbon wing plate attached to the mount using pivot balls which allows to adjust angle of the wing.
There are 3 different wing angle adjustments which have direct effect on the car downforce and the car characteristics. A 0.2 mm difference in thickness between the lower and upper shims creates a 1° wing angle. |

|
| Rear Assembly. |
|
| The rear carbon fiber side spring brace utilizes composite inserts pressed into the plate at the hardware attachment points for easier assembly and maintenance. |

|
| Side Link Mounting System. |
|
The narrower and lighter side link stands and M2.5 screws reduce weight. The side link stand features a 2-pin design for more rigidity and increased tweak resistance.
The POD linkage angle adjustment provides additional fine set-up tuning. |

|
| Side Braces. |
|
All-new narrower side braces purposely designed to accommodate the new chassis profile for enhanced chassis stiffness. The narrow width saves weight and creates more space for electronics.
Braces use new thinner M2.5 posts and screws for additional weight savings and remove weight from outer perimeter locations for improved rotation. |

|
| Front Lower Arms. |
|
The shape of the arm is redesigned around the mounting area to be more robust for improved durability. The extra material reinforces the arm and reduces risk of breakage in serious crashes.
The arm’s special carbon material with a stronger compound hardness reduces flex, increases stability and improves drivability in high traction conditions.
The front lower arm also features two mounting positions to set the car’s front width depending on the tires used to achieve correct front track width. |

| Body Posts. |
|
| Now there are two different body post mounting alternatives available. The standard position features reduced components for more clear design and more space for electronics. The new low profile mounting position is placed on the side brace with reduced components and allows to mount the Low profile Short LiPo pack. |

|
| Front Coil Springs. |
|
The softer, most commonly used front coil springs are included in the kit to make the X1 even better out of the box. The grey C3.0 springs are the most used springs for both carpet and asphalt tracks and improve corner-steering.
All-new C0.7 and C1.1 coil springs were added to the line up for fine settings for foam tires. |
