Xray Column – Never-ending Development

The 57th installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj talks recounts the development of the new T3’12 integrating many of the suggestions given by Xray customers.

Ah, the servo saver… this is another part which we improved after feedback from customers who wanted to get more precise high-speed steering and as such we changed to a 4-spring servo saver which is certainly an improvement, another part made based on the requests from customers.

Xray XB9 coming soon

Xray are running a teaser on their site, and also on their advertising banner on our site, for the upcoming XB9, the follow up to the successful XB8 1/8th scale buggy. We have no information on the new car, but we would expect that because they have used an all new series number that the car will be a completely new platform. The Slovakian company signed multiple European Champion Renaud Savoya back in September, could this already be the first results of that collaboration?
