TRG X1 & X12'15 Max Carbon graphite chassis

Japanese company TRG have introduced new optional Max Carbon graphite chassis for the Xray X1 and X12’15.

The wider front end makes the car usable for 200mm foam tyre classes and beside TRG’s own front suspension the chassis also allows to use the Tamiya F104 front end as well as the TRG F103 and F104 servo mounts.

Xray X12'16 1/12th scale pan car kit

Xray have officially introduced the 2016 specification X12 1/12th scale pan car kit. As explained by Alexander Hagberg in our exclusive interview and making-off feature, the car features some subtle changes and refinements to create a car that is faster and easier to maintain and setup. The backbone of the 2016 car is a redesigned 2.5mm carbon fibre chassis with optimised flex characteristics to allow for precise handling while being soft enough to generate the grip needed. Pre-drilled mounting positions for composite battery stops help to securely fasten 1S LiPo batteries both in a longitudinal and transversal position and the high-grade graphite material generates perfect stiffness for both for indoor carpet and outdoor asphalt racing.
