Xray X1’21 1/10th Formula chassis

Xray present their new for 2021 X12 Formula chassis, developed with a focus on improving durability, improving adjustability for better performance on a variety of surfaces, and resistance to chassis tweak after impacts. The tweak free design improvements are achieved with a new rear centre pivot mounting system and new pod components. An all-new aluminium centre pivot mounting system improves traction and stability of the car, eliminates tweak issues and provides new adjustment choices to position the pivot point. The one-piece bulkheads achieve maximum durability and eliminate tweak issues after a crash while the graphite rear upper plate has been redesigned to integrate with the new bulkheads to improve durability and to eliminate tweak after a crash. New graphite chassis side braces offer three different installation settings to alter chassis stiffness to match track conditions.

Reds Racing 521 GTS engine

Reds Racing have introduce their new generation of nitro GT engines called the 521 GTS. The new engine, available in steel or ceramic bearing versions, features high reliability, tuning stability and great fuel mileage, combined with specific technical changes in the porting and new materials. This 5 port engine claims to offer higher power and better fuel efficiency compared to other engines. The S line features a new and unique high stiffness crankcase design and uses all new materials and casting technology. The engine is produced with pressure die casting, which is a very high quality process, while previous generation R line crankcase was with gravity casting. Another big improvement is the brand new aluminium carburettor, again made using pressure die casting. The decision to change carburettor materials from plastic to aluminium further improves idle stability and tuning. The new carburettor is 30° inclined for better fluid dynamics to increase engine power and has an insulator to reduce carburettor temperature and increase idle stability at high temperatures.
