CS-Factory 1500 HVX-Matched cells

CS-Electronic have introduced the new CS-Factory 1500mAh HVX-Matched Power-Cells. Based on the successful CS-Factory 1500mAh Power-Cell, CS has developed the selection for the little 2/3 A cells to meet the big demand for selected cells in the micro classes. The treatment of voltage developed by Christian Sterr followed with ROBO-Selection means the cells are assembled in a pack with the highest voltage and the exactly equal curve of discharge, increasing the performance and durability of the cell.

Xray XT8 to remain unchanged for 08

A bit of non news from Xray, who have officially confirmed what they told us in Nuremberg last month, that the XT8 truggy will remain unchanged for this season.

The XT8 has been extremely successful since its release, and the long development time has paid off as the car has been proven to be ‘bulletproof’ and its performance has been at the very highest level. We have followed all reports, feedback and exeriences very closely, not only from team drivers but also from our customers around the world… and as such I am happy to confirm that there are no immediate plans to alter the XT8 and it will remain with the same specifications for the 2008 season. I hope everybody enjoys the XT8 and I wish everybody great success in the 2008 racing season.
