Balint Rajki teams up with Xray

Xray have announced the signing of Hungarian Formula champion, Balint Rajki to their team. The former ETS Stock, Hungarian 1/10th 200mm Nitro, and HPI Nitro Stock European and World Champion will focus on electric touring car and formula racing at all major electric on-road events including the ETS and he has the following to say:

I’m very happy to announce and also feel honoured to be able to join the Xray factory team. I have been following the formula project since the beginning and I truly believe that the X1 car is the best car at the moment so far and I’m sure it will remain the same. Besides the X1 I will also race T4 cars in our National Championship, ETS and some XRS races. I had been basically racing the past 10 years with one brand, but now I feel that this is the right brand to join with having all the different cars I had raced before and also planning to race in the future. I would like to thank Jan Ratheisky and the Hudy family for the opportunity, I will do my best. I also would like to say Thank You to Modell & Hobby and Arpad Kocsis for supporting me with cars over the past years.

RDRP Xray 1/10th Titanium Shock Mounts

Made for Xray’s line of 1/10th scale off-road vehicles are Revolution Design Racing Products’s new titanium shock mounts. The 1-piece mounts are a direct replacement for the kit’s steel parts and they greatly reduce the overall weight thanks to the lightweight titanium material. With the lower weight in one of the highest areas of the vehicles the parts also improve the handling especially in high-bite conditions while allowing for fast and convenient setup changes at the same time. The mounts come in sets of two and they are suitable for both the front and the rear shocks.
