With the official introduction of the brand-new Xray X1 1/10th Formula kit only days away, this week Red RC will bring you an exclusive insight into the company’s first ever open wheel on-road car followed by the full official release. Stay tuned.
Xray have new composite C-hubs for the T4 line of touring cars available. They add to the already existing range of castor hubs and help to fine-tune the steering response as they are available in different castor and material combinations. New to the range are 0 degree medium and hard graphite as well as 4 degree hard graphite hubs all of which are usable with Xray’s dual joint ESC driveshafts. The 0 degree variants also work with the ARS rear suspension system. All hubs are available separately for the left and right side of the car and they are clearly marked for easy identification.

It is no secret that Xray is working on a 1/10th formula chassis for some time and now things seem to materialise as the Slovakian company has released a first teaser image of the X1 kit. No information are available yet but we expect more information and images to surface soon.

CSO release a front lower aluminium bumper for a range of 1/10th electric touring cars such as the CSO One, the Xray T3 and T4 as well as the RGT R2 and the MTS FF. The bumper weighs in at 12g and thus is substantially heavier than the stock composite part which can be beneficial when running low-grip spec tyres as it improves chassis roll during cornering. The bumper is a direct replacement and comes black anodised and laser-etched with CSO logos.

Made for the use with ARS converted T4’15 cars is this graphite-reinforced rear suspension arm. Offering the same geometry and 1-hole specification as the standard kit arm, the special graphite compound makes for improved rigidity, making the arm ideal for the use in high ambient temperatures or when running on high-bite surfaces. Additionally the arm, that is usable on the left and right hand side of the car, improves traction and stability in normal grip conditions too.

Xray announce the soon release of the 2015 spec XB8 1/8th nitro off-road buggy. With the 2014 version being well received within the nitro buggy community Xray had a hard time to improve the successful platform. This is what Juraj Hudy has to say on what is to expect with next year’s model:
I am very happy that during the year majority of the feedback and comments for XB8 were very positive and as such we have had a very difficult task with the 2015 improvements as there was not much to improve. The 2015 version of the XB8 will be the next evolution of the platform featuring a dozen of refinements and improvements making the car even stronger and better performing.

Xray introduce optional graphite rear arm stiffeners for the use with the T4’15’s ARS system. Designed to make the car more stable and reactive in high-grip conditions reducing the amount of twist of the composite arms, the plates cut from 1.6mm carbon fibre attach to the rear lower A-arms using the included countersunk screws for swift and easy wishbone stiffness adjustment.
