Xray XB8 Active Differential

Xray have released their Active Differential, which is a high-performance, adjustable front gear differential for XB8 buggies that vastly improved the buggy’s speed and handling characteristics. The special design of the internal components, using different angled segments, allows the diff gears to engage on-power to increase the forward traction and stability to the buggy, making it faster and easier to drive. While the Xray Active Differential is a performance option for serious racers who want to gain an edge on superior speed and handling, it is also of great benefit to any level of driver that wants to a more predictable and easy-to-drive car in any racing conditions.

Paul LeMieux wins Midwest Series

Xray have a report from their team driver Paul LeMieux on the sixth and final race of the Midwest series, which was held in Toledo, Ohio recently. After 4 rounds of qualifying it was LeMieux who was on the pole position with the NT1, ahead of Andy Powers in 2nd and Chris Doseck in 3rd, the latter having ran out of fuel on his final and potentially fastest run. In the finals it was Paul and Andy that could pull away from the pack at the start with Chris settling in to 3rd but after some time Andy started to fall back into the clutches of Doseck, who managed to get passed into 2nd and was able to go after his team mate LeMieux. Bad luck for Chris however who flamed out after a coming together with a marshall with 10 minutes to run, which dropped him down the order. In the end it was Paul LeMieux that took the win from Andy Powers in 2nd and Ira Schultz in 3rd, this win gave Paul the Midwest title with Doseck finishing as runner up in the standings.

Martin Lissau wins 2007 Danish Nats

Xray have a report from their team driver Martin Lissau on the 5th and last race of the Danish 1/10 nitro touring car championship was held in Naestved RC Model Center. “I had to finish in the top 7 to be the National champion. It was hard because I had no tools and no staff with me as all were prepared for Worlds Championship in 1/5 cars that I have attended the day after the final run. After the qualification I was second, just behind Martin Fish, another XRAY driver. The final was without any stress as Martin got interference problems so he had to retire. Jesper Hoh could take the victory in this final as I made some mistakes. I finished on the second place, Dennis Hassing could take third place”.
