Duratrax 835B 1/8th scale RTR buggy

The new 1/8 scale from Duratrax, the 835B is loaded with Stress-Tech parts, and every one of them is protected by a 1-year replacement guarantee. If any Stress-Tech part fails during the first year, DuraTrax replaces it free. Other reasons for the 835’s durability include grey-anodized aluminium parts and hardened steel parts in the drivetrain. Driving the 835B is a SuperTigre G-27CX .27 engine, known for dependability and power, and it’s protected by a 3-year limited warranty. For control Duratrax provides a 2.4GHz FTR (Futaba Transmitter-Ready) system. It’s several steps above the usual ready-to-run radio, because it includes digital, metal-geared steering servo, 5-cell receiver pack and a wall charger.

Xray Column – Crazy Months

The 61st installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj gives a run down on the early summer season results for the team as well as an insight into a new secret project that he has been working on for the past 8 years.

But the project has been such a hugely interesting professional and personal challenge for me that I simply could not give up regardless of the costs involved. I know it is not a smart business decision, and many times I had internal discussions if it still made sense to continue to invest time and resources without an upcoming result. But sometimes there are challenges in your life when you must persevere and do whatever it takes, and this was exactly the case.

Reedy 4100mAh 65C Shorty LiPo

Reedy’s 4100mAh 65C Shorty LiPo is intended solely for racers. Its compact size allows racers to optimize their setups by altering their vehicle’s weight distribution. And its reduced weight means more acceleration and improved jumping ability. A 65C rating and a 4100mAh capacity means that whether racing stock or modified, you will have more than enough power to clear the big jump where others come up short. A ROAR approved durable hard case helps prevent damage, and 4mm socket connectors reduce resistance while allowing for clean wiring.

Robitronic Razer X8L motors

Robitronic’s Razer series of motors is complete with the X8L. This 1/8 brushless car motor is specially developed to supply stable and strong power in buggy, truggy and monster truck vehicles. The casing is made from high quality aluminium which is high strength and light weight and the front plate offers up M3 and M4 screw mountings. The magnet is slotted inside the rotor, which is different from traditional motors, and this unique structure has higher security to protect the rotor from cracking at a high speed. Available in 2 different specifications, 7 and 8 turns, the X8L is longer than the X8 so you have more torque and maximum power for both is 3500 Watt.

T-Work’s titanium screws

T-Work’s titanium screws are made from true 6AL/4V grade titanium and precision CNC machined to give you reliability and weight savings over regular steel screws. The titanium is of the same grade as their popular and nearly indestructible turnbuckles, which has a unique glossy finish compared to lower grade titanium, thus the need to be CNC machined instead of being pressed into shape from a mold as used with softer metals. Their starting line up will include M3 and M4 hex wrench button and Countersink head screws in various lengths with socket head and other metric and imperial sizes to follow.
