…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…

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…
