Xray cars have always amazed me with highest quality and performance in the racing market and the dedication of the team is second to none. Xray team is very friendly and bulletproof for customers. With the European Championship 2015 that will be for first time held in my home country in Turkey I wanted to race only the best car which is nothing else than the World Championship winning NT1. I would like to thanks to Umut from NCRC and Hudy family for their belief in me and supporting me for what I love to do: Racing RC cars.

RSD RX4-15 carbon fibre main chassis

Reflex Racing introduce the all-new RSD RX4-15 chassis for the Xray T4 2015 touring car. It is made from RSD 3K weave and available in a medium hardness 2.0mm and hard 2.25mm variant. The shape profiles for the chassis have been developed with a focus to provide a more consistent feel and less tyre overheating over a run. The design takes flex away from the bulkheads and moves it towards the centre which results in a more stable car that is easier to drive at high speed. Being made from “Quasi” carbon, which is stiffer due to the construction of the material, makes the 2.0mm chassis stiffer than the stock unit and the 2.25mm much stiffer. The 2.0mm chassis is recommended for most conditions, whether asphalt or carpet, with the 2.25mm being best used only in extreme high-grip situations.

New from Xray and made for the XB8 buggy come lower arm plates cut from 2mm carbon fibre. Designed to allow for easy flex adjustments of the arms the parts attach to the wishbones using small screws and they limit the overall flex of the composite parts for improved traction and added stability especially in chicanes and when racing on high-bite surfaces. The plates come as separate front and rear sets and they are a direct fit.
