Hagberg doubles at Snowbird Nationals

Xray’s Alexander Hagberg has doubled at the world famous Snowbird Nationals in Orlando, Florida, the Swede becoming the new Modified 1:12 and Touring Car Champion at the 31st edition of the race. With 2024 1:12 Champion Donny Lia not attending this year’s event, the battle in 1:12 would be between former World Champion Hagberg, World Championship Top Qualifier Kemp Anderson and ROAR Champion Keven Herbert. Over the 4 rounds of qualifying Hagberg set the fastest time in Q3 to secure the TQ ahead of Anderson’s Awesomatix which also had its best run in the penultimate round. Over the single 8-minute A-Main Hagberg led from tone to tone and while Anderson and Hebert swapped position early on, it was the former who finished runner-up almost 1- lap down. In Touring Car, defending Champion Hebert would line up third as Hagberg secured the TQ from MonTech New York Grand Prix Anderson. Over the 5-minute race decider, setting the fastest lap of the race Hagberg would extend his advantage over Anderson by 3.4-seconds, the Top 5 positions on the grid remaining unchanged at the finish.

Xray X12 ‘Black’ C=1.1 Front Coil Spring

Extending its range of front coil springs for its X12 1:12 pan car, Xray has added this new Black C=1.1 option. For pan car front suspension with 4mm king pin axles, this option is the softest of the range and like the other 3 available springs is powder colour-coded for quick & easy identification. Developed through extensive testing and racing experience, the stiffness is controlled by the thickness of the wire and by the number of coils; softer springs have a lower “C” value, while stiffer springs have a higher “C” value.

Xray confirms Champions return for MIBO International

Xray has confirmed that two of its MIBO International Champions will return to the third annual running of the Czech indoor onroad/offroad race early next month. Inaugural Pro-Stock Champion Adam Izsay returns and the recent GP3F winner will not only look to retake the Pro-Stock title Xray has won at the previous two editions but he will also step up to compete in the Modified class against the likes of Schumacher’s reigning Champion Michal Orlowski and the Mugen Seiki of inaugural Champion Ronald Volker. In Offroad, defending 4WD Champion Bartek Zalewski, who really made a name for himself at last year’s MIBO International, heads the Slovakian manufacturer’s quest for a third consecutive 4WD title on the offroad track. Bruno Coelho was the winner at the first running of the event that is organised by former top international Czech touring car racer Michal Bok and his well known RC company Mibosport. A sell-out event, the 2025 MIBO International will be very much a family affair for Xray with company founder Juraj Hudy one of 5 of the Hudy family’s three generations who will be racing at the Sport V Hotel based event on February 7-9th.

Xray X4 Glass Fibre ‘Soft’ Upper Decks

New for their X4 1:10 Electric Touring Car, Xray has released these ‘Soft’ Glass Fibre Upper Decks. Specially made from flexible & durable glass fibre material to increase the flex of the car they improve handling on low to medium grip tracks. Machined from 1.5mm glass fibre, the shape of the top deck has been specifically designed to achieve maximum traction and great steering characteristics at the same time. The top deck can be connected to the motor mount using these alternatives. For a Soft setting, only one rear screw is used. This allows maximum flex and provides maximum steering. However, the car is less stable on-power. To achieve a Stiff setting, both screws are used. This setting gives reduced flex both in front and rear. Mid-corner steering is decreased, rotation is decreased. This setting provides maximum stability and makes the car easier to drive.
