On Monday we brought you full information and CAD images of the all new Josh Cyrul designed Photon 190mm touring car from TOP Racing. With the ROAR Carpet Nats on this weekend, our friends at RC50.com who are covering the event went over to Josh and took a few detailed shots of the car, which we have here. Following qualifying Josh is sitting 3rd in Mod, proving that the car has a lot of potential, even before its release.
The T2R Pro is the third incarnation of Xray’s successful Raycer series of budget touring cars. It’s based on the T2 ‘008/’009 platform and combines their racing pedigree with less expensive materials like glass fibre and aluminium to form what the Slovakian company think is the ultimate budget ra(y)cer.
Here we have this weeks round up of product releases and race reports from our site sponsors Xray. Our summary includes everything published by the Slovakian manufacturer on their own website in the past week, so if you didn’t find the time to visit, be sure to read on.

We wrote about the limited edition setup board for 1/10th scale touring cars from Xray back in late 2007 and the fact that you could customize it by printing your own name, national flag & country name, and distributor information on it for a nominal surcharge. Well today Xray announced that they are waiving that fee and the service is now available for FREE when you buy a LE Alu setup board.
