Xray X4‘26 Touring Car

Xray has unveiled their ‘all new’ 1:10 Electric Touring car chassis, the X4‘26.  The Slovakian manufacturer is offering three versions of the X4’26, allowing customers to choose their ideal starting point: the Carbon Edition, and the 1.5 or 2.0mm Aluminium Editions, each tuned for different track conditions.  The new car benefits from 30 grams of total weight savings without compromising durability, very beneficial in spec class racing that requires larger battery packs.  The all-new narrow chassis design accommodates new suspension and bulkhead designs, including short and standard arms, as well as the new shock holder mounting positions.  New suspension geometry moves shocks further outboard to improve traction and steering response in all conditions.  All-new new CFF2 lower suspension arms with integrated composite detailing maximises suspension rigidity and improves handling in all conditions.  Newly designed bulkheads compliment the new suspension parts. A universal design at all four corners uses an interchangeable bulkhead for left-right and front-rear, reducing spare parts count and simplifying repairs.  Brand new design CFF upper arms with reduced flex from its optimised shape contribute to the more consistent handling of the new suspension.  Also new is the carbon fibre steering & ARS plates optimise geometry, flex and reduce un-sprung weight.

Volker wins 2025 Asian Onroad Championship

Ronald Volker was the dominant force at a rain effected 2025 Asian Onroad Championship, the Mugen Seiki driver taking the TQ & win at the stand alone event hosted at the impressive GRC Raceway in Korea.  With this year’s event attracting an impressive international entry led by the Axon of 2024 Champion Akio Sobue, due to rain the main action would end up being condensed into a single day made up of 3 rounds of qualifying and double Mains.  Topping all three qualifiers, Volker claimed the TQ ahead of Ji Heon Yoo, Sobue and Alexander Hagberg.  In the finals Volker’s domination continued as he won A1 by over 3-seconds from the Xray of Hagberg and the Awesomatix of Marc Rheinard, a spin on the opening lap by Heon Yoo dropping him down the order.  In A2, Volker won by an even more impressive 7-second margin from Sobue with Rheinard again P3 but overall it would be Hagberg and Sobue who joined Volker on the podium.   In 17.5 Boosted, EC Maker’s Zaccheus Lam took the TQ & win while in FWD Yong Wan Choi was the winner.

Reflex Racing PN2.5 Low Profile Damper System

With the PNWC, the World Cup of 1:28 racing, coming up in November in the United States, Reflex Racing has release this PN2.5 Low Profile Damper System.  By use of some clever engineering and repositioning of the dampers on the ever popular PN 2.5 chassis, Reflex Rcang have been able to achieve an extremely low CG suspension set up for their AAA car.  Simple and high performance, this suspension kit is compatible with traditional T Bars, ensuring easy installation and reliable performance.  The kit comes with everything necessary to install in your PN2.5, with the exception of a top shock.  Here, you can chose to use our Reflex Racing RX28A-32 or any other “traditional” 1:28 scale centre shock.  Also new from the Texas based brand is their True Spec 460mah battery.  This battery has the same footprint as their 400mah 8.7V LiHv battery, but it is slightly taller at 13.0mm vs 12.3mm.  The result is increased capacity and much lower Internal Resistance (approximately 30% lower than the current 400s).  These batteries are ideal for stock and super stock racing where discharge curve is essential to keeping the fade down to a minimum.
