…Wischnewski, the body is made in Germany from high-quality polycarbonate with its design ensuring very good overall traction in combination with great steering response. The EFRA 2056 homologated shell includes Easy Fix lightweight wing mounting hardware in the form of composite bolts and nuts, whose large diameter prevents the wing from tearing off in the event of a crash. The body is available un-cut or as pre-cut and pre-drilled version with the wheelarches, body posts, window and fuel tank holes already cut for chassis such as the Shepherd Velox V10, Xray NT1, Serpent Natrix and Mugen MTX6.

…that’s a secret you will have to wait for! But I will tell you that we are busily working on several new projects. We have all the main classes covered, and now we are going after some smaller “niche” classes but we also still need to dedicate sufficient amounts of time and finances for development of the current platforms. So I am in a constant loop with Xray on-road platforms including T4, X1, X10, X12, NT1, and RX8. Red RC: Martin, thank you for the honest words and good luck for the new racing season. Martin Hudy: You are welcome….

…the existing issues: – The front bulkheads got a design change, with reinforcement in the area that saw breakage; – To eliminate the rear suspension holder bending issue, I changed the mounting from 2 screws to 4 screws which made the assembly very solid and impossible to bend anymore; – To solve the problem with the fuel tank, I have decided to use a completely different fuel tank; – To get more steering from the front suspension I incorporated the same design I recently (successfully) used on the new NT1. Instead of the front upper arm mounting from the side…

…experience from the recent NT1 platform redesign changing to aluminum bulkheads, I already knew the critical things to focus on, and how to incorporate new parts to allow the car to flex properly. I also knew how to re-design the car to make it easier to work on, as well as keeping production efficiency in mind. – CHASSIS: The chassis was re-designed to work with the new aluminum backbone, and it was modified to accommodate the newly-improved geometry. – SUSPENSION FLEX: Flex of the suspension is very important to the car’s overall performance and handling characteristics. Besides getting the correct…

Xray have introduced the latest incarnation of their highly successful NT1 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road car. The reigning IFMAR World and EFRA European Champion, the platform received very subtle changes and refinements for the new season that mainly address setup options and Xray’s own Multi-Flex technology to allow for real fine-tuning in terms of chassis flex. The 2016 kit is based on a new 7075-T6 aluminium main chassis that has been redesigned to accept the new 2-speed layshafts bulkheads for better and more precise placement. Two extra holes for the new engine mounts further widen the setup window while the…
