The 44th installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column he talks about pre event testing, something essential for a successful result.
With the EC and WC races coming in the summer there is a lot of duties, work and projects to be finished so everybody is super busy. Of course the deadline for us does not mean the EC and WC races themselves but usually the warm-up races which are organised a few weeks or months before the official event. In the highly-competitive racing world, going to a EC or WC without practicing at an official (or at least private) warm-up is a professional suicide; none of the top teams take such a huge risk.

Venom have introduced their new LiFe-Power line of LiFe receiver and hard case batteries. They offer many advantages over their Lipo counterparts including 4X the useable cycles, no low voltage cutoff and higher charge rates. As a receiver battery, there is no need for a regulator due to the lower nominal voltage compared to a LiPo. The hard case packs are perfect for most 1/10th scale vehicles. 1/12th scale racers will love the 3600mAh single cell hard case for its power and lightweight.
