Xray Column – Decade of Triumph

The 38th installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj reflects on a decade of the Xray brand, going through each element of the company and it has changed since 1999 and what they can expect in the future.

Over the past decade we went through plenty of very happy moments, but we have also faced our share of troubles, tough times, difficult decisions, and challenging moments. To put all those memories down on paper would be enough to fill a novel the size of War and Peace. I realize that to summarize them in one column is impossible, so I will try to share the highlights of the different areas and how I have seen how they have changed over the years and what I think will be the future.

Read the full column here.

Xray XII Link

Just over a year after entering the 1:12 market, Xray have introduced the now-industry-standard linkage rear end to their XII chassis. The XII Link now follows current rules and trends in allowing the use of either NiMH or LiPo battery technology with no ill-effects to handling or balance. The XII Link was designed and tested on club tracks around the world to perform on any surface under any conditions. Whether soaking up bumps on a rough asphalt club track or slicing through the infield of a super-smooth carpet track, the XII Link does it with ease and versatility. The XRAY XII Link achieves a state of perfection by focusing on well thought-out refinements to create a car that is easy to drive, work on, and adjust. Top-quality materials such as self-developed composite mixtures, HUDY Spring Steel™, premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum, and highest-grade graphite are XRAY signatures and the XII has them in abundance.
