RÖNTGENSTRAHL Spalte - Weltvorbereitungen Categories - Industry, Xray, Products - add a comment
The 17th installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj talks about the teams trip to this years TITC event.
Arriving a few days earlier before the race gave us a great opportunity to prepare, and having all the other factory teams at the track as well gave us the chance to do some benchmarking. The track was prepared very well, so after charging the first batteries and getting the tires ready, we were ready to race! I was the first one to get track time, and was pleasantly surprised not only with my own driving but especially about the handling of the car. I needed no marshalling at all and the car with basic set-up and new tires was very calm with a lot of steering and traction, but mainly it was super-easy to drive.

Racer DE becomes RC Car Racer & Fun Categories - Partners, Industry - comments closed
One of the most popular R/C Car magazines in Germany, and one of our print partners, RC Car Racer has evolved into the all-new RC Car Racer & Fun.
As most of you might know RC Car Racer is the most popular RC Car magazine in the UK and since February 2005 it has had a German “sister magazine” for the German language market in Europe. Being in its fourth year now the publishers of RC Car Racer thought that it might be the right time for a slight tweak in the name of RC Car Racer in Germany and becomes the all-new RC Car Racer & Fun. With this re-branding ADH Publishing hope that the new look cover will appeal to many more readers who perhaps had previously thought that Racer was just about racing. The format will be changed for Germany and will have even higher quality paper, larger print and features aimed at all levels of Radio Control Car interests ranging from entry level to high competition cars as well as nitro and electric rides. It is planned that each and every issue we will have a cover mounted gift like sticker sheets or DVD’s for an even higher value for the reader. RC Car Racer & Fun is available at all good modelshops, railway stations and highstreet newsstands.
For more information about RC Car Racer and RC Car Racer & Fun please go here.

XRAY Column - Back in the Dirt Categories - Industry, Xray, Products - comments closed 
The 16th installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj talks about the development of the company’s new XB808 1/8th scale buggy, which was shown for the first time at the toy fair in Germany a few weeks ago.
To improve steering and handling in bumpy conditions, I decided to use the suspension concept that has been used for ages in 1/10 electric off-road cars… the “zero kingpin” design. This design seems to work in the 1/8 buggy scale as well and the first prototypes were created for testing. Zero kingpin suspension gives more precise steering and handling in the corners as the steering keeps the same angle no matter if the suspension is up or down, and as such when running through bumps in corner the steering will not change as much as on regular C-hub suspension used previously and the handling of the car will improve significantly.
