Xray is offering this 2026 Conversion Set to owners of its 2023 NT1 1:10 Nitro Touring Car, the updated parts making the car more stable, offering higher corner speed, and overall easier to drive.  The set features short shock absorbers with shorter & softer springs, updated carbon front & rear shock towers and uses thinner anti-roll bars.  You also get shock absorbers mounted to arms via carbon extensions and new carbon downstop backstops allow more precise downstop adjustment. A carbon front upper stiffener mounted only to the chassis increases front-end flex.  Revised steering geometry & lighter design is achieved with carbon 2-dot steering extensions. A rear carbon brace redesigned creates more flex while the rear end remains stable without loss of traction. Carbon spacer for rear shock tower ensures improved tower and shock mounting. New CVD driveshafts simplify adjustment & improve reliability.  An aluminium Centax clutch bell with hard nickel coating is lighter for increased drivetrain performance while an aluminium washer for the belt tensioner prevents belt from jumping off the pulley.  Finally new throttle/brake joints with steel bushings give smoother & more precise operation.

Xray X12‘26 1:12

Xray has unveiled their ‘all new’ 1:12 chassis, the X12‘26.  Featuring a redesigned chassis with reduced rear flex this improves stability & overall traction.  The chassis also adds mounting holes for a floating servo mounting and additional holes for easier access to rear pod hardware.  A new pod front plate and carbon side link plates with 3 positions provides proper side link alignment for each of the centre pivot positions.  New side link mounting positions keep the side links’ rear pivots in-line with each of the three centre pivot positions to minimise bind during suspension compression.  At the front a redesigned front carbon bumper improves durability while a front brace from thinner 1.6mm carbon material improves handling & overall feel.  Wider front lower arms, 1mm wider per side, improves drivability in all conditions.  New aluminium pivot holders allow a lower roll-centre setting without protruding below the chassis.  The X12’26 offers two servo mounting alternatives, fixed & floating, with an all-new floating servo holder providing more forgiving handling and minimises steering drift due to servo movement after a crash.

Lee wins Hudy Series Australia

As 1:8 GT drivers descend on Santiago, Chile, this week for the IFMAR World Championships, the venue of the previous GT Worlds hosted the Australian Hudy Series over the weekend where it was Nicholas Lee who took the Mod Touring Car win.  Racing at the New South Wales Radio Controlled Racing Car Club’s track in Sydney, Lee would take his Xray to the TQ ahead of ARC’s Brayden Stanley on tie break as the pair recorded two TQ runs each over the four qualifier.  The only drivers to go 20 laps (in Q3) around the John Grant International Raceway, it was Lee who got the pole position with his faster time.  Behind them RC Maker’s Jeff Hamon completed the Top 3 in front of team-mate Damon Davis-Perry.  In the finals Lee took the first one with Stanley winning A2 after a DNF in the A1.  Unfortunately local star Stanley would again fail to finish in A3 and with Lee taking it it was the Singapore driver with the overall winner down under.  Hamon got second with Schumacher’s Simon Nicholson, from 8th on the grid, grabbing the final step on the podium ahead of Davis-Perry.  Hamon would take the win in 13.5 Stock ahead of Cristian Silva and Top Qualifier Markus Askell.  In FWD, John Puse took the TQ and win while in 1:12 Michael Stone was the winner having started from the TQ.
