Met deze re-brandmerkt het Publiceren ADH hoop dat de gerenoveerde dekking een beroep zal doen op veel meer lezers die misschien eerder hadden gedacht dat Racer enkel over het rennen was. Het formaat zal voor Duitsland worden veranderd en zal hebben zelfs document van betere kwaliteit, grotere druk en eigenschappen die op alle niveaus van de Radiobelangen wordt het gericht die van de Auto van de Controle zich van ingangsniveau aan hoge de concurrentieauto's evenals nitro en elektrische ritten uitstrekken.

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.

Kawahara 1/10th 220mm GPR Categories - Kawahara, Industry, Racing, Products - comments closed 
Japanese company Kawahara are playing with the concept of introducing a new class based on the 1/10th 200mm class, called GPR. Essentially they are saying that due to the power of modern .12 engines that the cars have become more difficult to control. What they are suggesting is to use new wheels and tires that see the front increased to 30mm wide and the rear to 40mm wide, which will help get the power to the track and make the cars easier to drive. To compliment this they have also proposed a new 220mm wide Group C bodyshell, with a GT and Saloon car also planned, and a new wider front bumper which protects the new wider car that will be available for the Mugen MTX-4 and Kyosho V-One RRR. I’m not too convinced by the idea, as a major part of the skill of racing is to be able to handle that power, and also remember that the world had a class like this already - 235mm.

Xray Column - My Micro Love Categories - Industry, Xray, Products - comments closed
The 15th 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 Pro version of the M18 truck.
It was fairly easy to brainstorm about what we needed and wanted to improve and change for the new M18T. We needed to bring the platform to the new level of high-competition racing so as to meet and exceed the expectations for reliability and performance. The code project for the new car was set right away, to make a professional M18T and as such the name M18T PRO was set in place. The goal was set, we just had to work out all the details.
