Xray T4 2014 electric touring car kit

Xray introduce the T4 2014 electric touring car kit. Still called the T4 platform the 2014 spec kit features a range of new and updated parts that heavily separates the ’14 version from the previous kit. First up is the 89mm wide 2.2mm carbon fibre chassis that comes with pre-drilled holes for optional parts such as chassis weights, motor guard, battery holder or battery straps. Also part of the newly designed chassis is an updated motor and layshaft mount – both separate parts now to eliminate unwanted tweak. The layshafts mounts are of a captured design to allow the layshaft bearings to stay in place even with the top deck screws removed. The chassis flex is now additionally adjustable using a sturdy aluminium post that can be screwed onto the motor mount.

Xray X12 pan car kit

Xray introduce the all-new X12 1/12th scale pan car kit. Building on the experience gained with the X11 the new kit features a redesigned narrow main chassis, narrow rear pod, an all-new centralised shock mounting position and many other refinements such as a new front suspension including redesigned front arms. The new chassis allows to mount the battery in an off-set in-line or traversal placement while the narrow design with more centrally mounted rear pod links makes for a more agile handling and improved side-to-side weight transition. The new longer upper pod plate results in a more progressive damping to improve forward traction and handling over bumps. Also part of the new rear end setup are straight-type side springs for a smoother and more consistent compression. Up front inserts for the lower arm mounts allow track width adjustment in 0.5mm increments while 0.2mm to 0.6mm ride height spacers help you to fine tune the ride height for a variety of tyre diameters. Other front end features include easy-to-tune reactive castor and Ackermann settings. As usual the kit comes without body, tyres or electronics.

Xray XT9 1/8th nitro truggy kit announced

Xray introduce their all-new XT9 nitro competition truggy kit. Making use of the winning pedigree of the long-running XT8 platform the new truck features many design elements known from the XB9 buggy combining them to the soon-to-be-released XT9. The truck is based on a newly designed 3mm 7075-T6 aluminium chassis that features a new weight distribution and accommodates a repositioned centre differential. Machined pockets underneath the fuel tank, engine and diffs reduce the weight to a minimum without sacrificing overall rigidity. A redesigned radio compartment sees the receiver battery box for straight-pack LiXX and NiXX batteries in a forward position beside the steering servo while the receiver box is located opposite of the engine.
