Xray XB4’27 1:10 4WD Buggy

Following the release of its latest 1:10 2WD buggy last week, Xray has now unveiled the 2027 edition of its XB4 4WD Buggy.  As is now industry standard, the kit is offered in both Carpet and Dirt versions with the new Dual Shock Mounting Concept the big feature of the 2027 version.  The XB4’27 introduces the completely new dual shock mounting concept that offers two alternatives shock positions of ‘Standard’ and ‘Laydown’ both for the front and rear suspension.  This expanded suspension concept lets you select the shock layout that best suits the track surface, traction level and driving conditions.  The Standard shock position maintains the proven traditional XB4 suspension layout, while the new Laydown configuration provides an additional geometry option to further expand the buggy’s set-up range.  Other new features of the platform include countersunk aluminium components for easier installation of the optional steel chassis while graphite ball joints reduce friction and ensure smoother operation under load.  Both the XB4C’27 and XB4D’27 now include the Epsilon body.

Hebert takes Q2 after mistake from Payne

Having been eliminated from the opening qualifier, Xray’s Keven Hebert has TQ’d the second of the TQ Wire 1:12 Modified class at the MonTech NYGP.  Collecting a spun car in Q1 that led to a DNF, Hebert would again be the main challenger to Excelerate RC’s Ollie Payne who took the opening round with a dominant run.  With the British driver looking on a target for 2 from 2, as the qualifier reached the mid way point a slight touch of the curbing coming onto the main straight would result in his Prodigy 12 stepping out with the impact messing up his body.  Losing 5-seconds, while he initially resumed running in P3 he would shortly pull off to prevent any further damage.  Afterwards Payne felt he should have made the tyre change he was considering after Q1.  With Payne out, this promoted Hebert to the TQ pace and the Canadian maintained his form to take it by 1.129 seconds over the Awesomatix of Kemp Anderson.  Finishing P2 in the opening round, defending champion Sam Isaacs would tap out in style at the 2-minute mark.  Having had a DNF in Q1 and been the cause of Hebert’s DNF, Donny Lia would complete the Top 3, the man behind the NYGP still getting to terms with his new Cerberus Racing chassis which is debuting this weekend.

Xray X4 Short Hard CFF2 Lower Arms

Xray has added the option of Hard version of their CFF2 Short Lower Arms for the X4’26 1:10 Electric Touring Car.  Short CFF2 suspension arms provide more aggressive and reactive handling compared to the standard long arms.  The shorter geometry allows more chassis roll and increases initial steering, making the car more responsive in tight and technical sections and improving steering on technical tracks.  In high-traction conditions, the short arm geometry improves rotation and provides freer handling.  The Hard material further reduces suspension arm flex, helping to increase rotation and responsiveness.  For best performance, the latest Short Hard CFF2 suspension arms are recommended in combination with the Hudy Spring Steel 1.2mm Chassis.
