Similar to the versions released recently by Much More, these move the point where the wire attaches to the pack out from under the car’s upper deck so it is easier to access. The long bars are sold in a pack of 10 or they can be bought as part of a full set for making a 5 cell pack that includes 4 battery bars also.

XRAY Column – Worlds Preparations

Xray Column

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.
