Xray X1’20 aluminium flex & hard carbon fibre chassis

Xray have announced the release of new aluminium and carbon fibre chassis parts for their X1’20 formula car kit. First up is the 2.0mm aluminium flex chassis that was developed for the use on medium to high-bite carpet or high grip asphalt tracks. It features strategically placed milled-out sections to optimise the torsional flex while scrubbing a bit of weight. The narrow design eliminates contact with the track surface in corners while rolling, and offers improved cornering speed. The design also includes a slot for a composite battery backstop which allows 5mm battery position adjustment when using the most frequently used cross-chassis alignment configuration. Also incorporated are three wheelbase settings of standard, +4mm and -4mm.

Xray T4 2020 extra-flex aluminium chassis

Made for their popular T4 2020 mid-motor car is Xray’s all-new 2.0mm extra-flex aluminium main chassis. It is machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium with additional machining – compared to the aluminium flex chassis – increasing torsional flex, making the chassis ideal for low-traction carpet or high-traction asphalt tracks. For higher traction carpet tracks though, Xray recommend their existing aluminium flex or full face aluminium chassis. The black anodised extra-flex chassis features machined silver edge details for looks as well as laser-engraved Xray logos.

Xray XB4 +2mm hard suspension arms

Xray have announced the release of their new +2mm front and rear suspension arms for the XB4 1/10th scale 4WD buggy. Moulded from a hard composite material the arms sport a redesigned geometry that will improve handling and increase traction especially over bumpier parts of the track. In addition the design of the front arm, that is usable both on the left and right hand side of the buggy, allows for a greater range of adjustments as the opening for the C-hub is larger for greater wheelbase adjustment possibilities compared to the previous versions. As for the rear arms, that are available separately for the left and right hand side, they allow for variable positioning of the rear shocks. Depending on track conditions, the rear shocks can be installed either in front of or behind the rear shock tower, and the rear shock tower can be placed either in front of or behind the bulkhead. All suspension arms come moulded from a high-quality hard composite material for a balanced performance and exceptional durability.
