Xray unveil X1 2020 formula pan car

Xray have lifted the curtain and official introduce their X1 2020 1/10th scale formula pan car kit. The 2020 version of the IFMAR World Cup winning car features a host of updates such as a redesigned independent rear wing mount that is now lighter, stronger, and more durable all while having less flex, resulting in improved overall aerodynamics. The all-new rear bulkheads were redesigned to work with the new independent wing mount system, allow to lower the diff position by 0.5mm for greater range of ride height adjustment, with the left bulkhead being redesigned to eliminate bending problems in crashes. The car is based on an all-new chassis -that allows to adjust the wheelbase of the front suspension. The chassis features three wheelbase alternatives with a standard wheelbase and +/- 4mm settings. Other new features include a new front stand that reinforces the front part of the chassis, a redesigned top deck supports the new wheelbase settings and a new graphite backstop for the battery better supports cross chassis alignments. Another valuable update is a keyed 1-piece aluminium link mount plate holder that provides a solid base that will not move even during hard kits. The kit is already shipping and will hit stores by the time you are reading this.

All-new features:
– All-new chassis – allows to adjust the wheelbase of the front suspension. The chassis features 3 wheelbase alternatives. Standard wheelbase and +/- 4mm
– All-new bulkheads – redesigned to work with the new independent wing mount system, redesigned to allow to lower the diff position by 0.5mm for a greater range of ride height adjustments, and the left bulkhead was redesigned to eliminate problems with bending in crashes
– All-new front stand – instead of the post which holds the upper arm mount plate it is the stand which reinforces the front part of the chassis for more steering while also allowing to a mount graphite brace that could be connected to the front lower arms for greater flex adjustment possibilities
– All-new graphite arm mount plates allow to connect a new post with the steering pivot shaft for greater steering adjustment possibilities
– All-new graphite top deck – redesigned to work with the new adjustable wheelbase
– All-new graphite rear pod – redesigned to work with the new independent wing mount system
– All-new alu pod link graphite plate holder – replacing the shims. The 1-piece holder has centring pins to eliminate the possibility of moving in crashes
– All-new graphite pod link plate – added one extra hole for the composite pod link mount to have greater steering adjustment possibilities
– All-new lighter pod brace holder from graphite composite material to increase consistency and to resist flexing
– All-new rear graphite brace which was redesigned to work with the new independent wing mount set
– All-new graphite backstop for the battery pack when mounted in cross-chassis alignment
– All-new graphite brace for the bulkheads – redesigned to work with the new independent wing mount set, features additional holes to mount a fan
