Xray have released some new optionals for their new NT1 200mm gas powererd touring car. The new optionals all focus on the bumper of the car with the release of a wide composite GTP style bumper and seperately a composite front transponder holder that mounts above the bumper, similar to that on the Serpent 720. The other new pieces include this carbon fibre top bumper plate (above) which replaces the original composite version and a new harder foam bumber. Check out all the new optionals here.

…of Alessio Mazzeo. Today as a follow up they have added 2 more picture sets from the same event, first off showing the Mugen MTX4 of event runner up Erik Dankel, which you can see is also pretty much standard, with only some small optional parts added such as the alu receiver box and alu servo horn. Walti Beat, the 4th placed qualifer and eventual 5th placed finisher, drove the new Xray NT1 (above) and his car was also pretty much standard, albeit nice and neat. View the Xray NT1 here and the Mugen MTX4 here. Source: RC Infos [rcinfos.com]…

[youtube]F68pM9RdV68[/youtube] A while ago we were informed by Xray that there would be a race between a full size Ferrari and an Xray NT1 and the results would be shown on Austrian TV. Now thanks to YouTube here is the video. I said over 100m it would be no contest, the NT1 had it, and i think every other opinion was the same, and that was in fact the outcome. The same race run to 150m saw the Ferrari just get it, mainly due to a bad start for the NT1. Source: Xray [teamxray.com]…
