BODY STOP SYSTEM The X4 features an adjustable front body upstop system incorporated into the new upper arm to prevent the body shell from bottoming out and hitting the ground during cornering. When the system is set correctly, it allows the body to be run lower without dragging on the ground to improve aerodynamic efficiency.
