XRAY - Model racing cars

Thanks Glenn, appreciated.

Marzz.

how about one of those fancy set up boards for buggy cant let all the 10th men have all the fancy toys

I also want to see a huge hauler bag with enough space for a truggy and almost everything you need at a race weekend.

a reinforced radio box would be very nice also the droop screws, which do not damage the chassis plate.

I think a rear skidplate also would be very nice for club racing, because the chassis would last longer...

This is a question that I had. Here is a link to the topic. I am still curious as to why they are labbled as "pads"?

Thanks, dude, great info

low weight and low profile tires for the xt !

Doods,
I just got an XT8 and its cool but the battery is like something from the dark ages. Those stick packs are just too small for a long days racing.

I run an X1-CRT also and use Ballistic batteries AA hump packs.
I managed to fit this into the XT8 box by dremelling the lip off and rotating the pack into where the RX is normally located, and then placing the RX on its side where the battery normally goes. But it would be easier if you just provided a new lid you could fit it in no problems and it would fit alot better. Hong Nor/Jammin did this and it was excellent.

Yadda Yadda about the weight balance of the truck etc and don't start the reply with Lipo's as they are nothing but trouble in my experience.

This is a simple change to the battery box.

These packs are excellent as you can get a huge amount of run time out of them. I not a great driver bad a qualifying but tend to do better in the actual races and in one race I bumped up 4 races which with the old style pack for get it. I ran 20 minutes of heats and 45 minutes of racing without having to charge anything. Or drivers with big servos not geting laps because the batteries they have can't handle the current draw of the newer Ace Digital servos -> not in my shop chuck.

here is a pic showing how I have it now, the hump 5th battery is sitting under the bar, with a new lid I can stand it up right and be happy



So come on Xray doods get this mold done

BTW Parts availability in the UK is really poor I have to order from NL and US, time to get mirage to sell directly like CML now have done.

Cheers,
Neil.

I hate to disagree but I prefer shock spacers instead of threaded collars. So "Non Threaded Big Bore Shock Bodies" would be a great option. I've never had spacer clips come off from my XT8 and EC so I highly doubt it would pop off the big bore shock bodies. They are much more accurate and require less attention at trackside.


Please Mario, make it happen.
