Xray Column – Nationals all around

The 43rd installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column he talks about a break in his busy racing schedule and focuses on the National success of the team all around the world.

The most important part of the season within the last two years is coming and we do not want to keep anything for the last minute and be ready and prepared as much as possible. But still I know there will be last minute changes and quick decisions which will be required based on the feedback and results from the warm-ups, so I want to have majority of the regular work and basic projects ready ready now, to save the capacity for the absolute peak in the summer.

Hudy Super Diff Grease

Hudy’s new Super Diff Grease is a high-performance, model racing car general-purpose silicone-based grease. With a thicker viscosity than standard diff grease, it stays on the diff plates longer, prolonging diff lifespan. It is especially well-suited for use in ball differentials and thrust bearings and is recommended for any heavy-duty application where high pressures or loads are present. The silicone grease operates within a large temperature range and works under extreme conditions over 100°C.

RPM Traxxas shock wrenches

RPM have introduced shock body and cap wrenches for the Traxxas line of 1/10th scale shocks. Molded from one of their secret blends of nylons, it makes them a perfect choice to keep those expensive aluminium shocks from getting scuffed up from metal tools. The Body Wrench slips effortlessly over the body of the shock while the hex of the shock body seats in an upper recess. The Cap Wrench then slips over the shock cap and with a simple twist of the wrist, the cap easily unscrews off of the shock body. No extra tools required and virtually no possibility of scuffing up or damaging the body or shock cap. RPM Shock Body and Cap Wrenches are designed for use on most 1/10th scale Traxxas shocks including the aluminium ‘Big Bore’ versions. However, they will not work with Traxxas Revo or Jato shocks.

Corally 10SL 200/235mm ‘Side Links’ chassis

Corally have released information about their latest release, the 10SL ‘Side Links’. Shown in prototype form, it is available in a 200mm and 235mm champions kit, in full graphite and undergoes the same transformation as their 12SL chassis, to allow the mounting of LiPo packs. By going from a T-bar to a link, or as Corally are calling it ‘Side Links’, this allows the right amount of space to mount a 1S 3.2V LiPo pack up to a 7.4V stick pack LiPo. The car also features an updated front end and stiffer rear end, compared to its predecessor, that can easily accommodate brushless motors, while a new ‘top deck’ supports to centre shock and also adds extra stiffness to the chassis.
