Xray Column – Euros Preparation

Xray Column - Euros Preparation

A double bill from Xray today with the 21st and 22nd installment in the Xray column from company owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy now online. In this months column, Juraj talks about both the preparations for the 1/8th scale Euros in Greece and the 1/10th scale Euros in Spain.

With our own factory indoor track, life has been made a bit easier. Martin built a copy of the Euros track layout and we gathered all the recent improvement ideas we had and prepared all the prototype parts for testing. The performance, handling, durability, and geometry have all been at the highest level for our T2’008 and as such we could focus on the smaller details (especially on reducing weight) and test different drivetrain parts.

Xray Column – Statistics, Expenses…

Xray Column

The 20th installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj talks about the current economic climate and its effect on the model car industry.

Over the last several years we have kept our export prices the same despite the expenses for labor, energy, material, services have been increasing constantly above the standard inflation rate. The Slovak economy has been exceptionally strong over the last few years and when for 1 Euro we received a few years ago over 40 Slovak crowns, today it is only 30 Slovak crowns; and for 1 USD we received a few years ago over 42 Slovak crowns, today it is only 19 Slovak crowns. If you do the math, you will fully understand my concern and the tough situation we have to face.
