Xpress tease Execute XQ1 touring car

Xpress have released a first teaser image of their forthcoming all-new 1/10th 4WD electric touring car kit. An iconic brand back in the 1990’s and 2000’s, Xpress have recently made the step back into the market with a range of M-sized cars and are now on the verge of presenting their first competition kit in years. The teaser gives a first taste of what to expect with the company seemingly having taken a somewhat different design approach on details such as the bulkheads, anti-roll bar and suspension mounts. As all parts look pretty much production ready so we expect the kit to hit the market shortly.

Doing so will reduce driveshaft angles, making them more level, which results in an easier to drive car on high-grip surfaces. The set includes four 2mm shims that raise the laydown gearbox and Schelle recommend to use their laydown motor plate to lower the motor back down to the chassis while also using long shock ends for 2mm of added shock droop.
