XRAY - Model racing cars

Two new parts available now, the front brace is like the rear brace with two mounting holes on the chassis. The white springs are softer than the light blues. Just another sign that Xray is listening to the racers and their desires.

35 2086 Aluminum Front Brace 7075 T6 5mm $31.20
35 8094 Xray Spring Set Soft White (2 fronts and 2 rears) $15.05

cool where can i get them?

RC America just got them in so it will take a week or so before they hit the stores. RCA is busy filling back orders at the moment and than these should go out if your shop is ordering them. Ask your shop to get you some pronto!

David....do you still prefer the stock front brace....earlier you said it was better as it allowed the chassis to flex a bit.....

The US team has not gotten to test these parts mainly because there isn't much testing you can really do. The brace is just a brace and is more of a tuning option, just like the springs. It isn't something that needs development per say. Add a coil and you got softer, make a 3d image of a brace and you got a brace

Now I have tested with softer springs and they have their place so this will be a great addition in my book.

The front brace is something that I still think the jury is out on. What the brace will do is allow for more consistant rough track handling, sending more of the hits to the suspension to absorb instead of allowing the chassis to absorb. I am excited to see if I can make the car's suspension work more with the new brace and where the benefits will be. I feel like the springs it will be a tuning part, not manadatory. I still think for a lot of tracks the stock brace will be the ticket. The trick is to figure out when you get to the track which one will result in a more consistant car.

thanks David....and good answer btw....
