XRAY - Model racing cars

There is somebody out there with news or information about the worlds.

Photos and setups are wanted. XRay new parts ???


Back to todays action, a long day with many heats and
lot's of action. It was soon clear that the target was
to turn in laps around 13 seconds and preferably lower,
and a total of 23 laps in app. 5:08, that was a good
target time early on. During the afternoon the pace was
increased and now the fast guys were making 24 laps.
All focus was of course on Hara and Masami, but it was
actually some of the European drivers who managed to
put in good runs first. Englands Andrew Moore was one
of the first to position himself on top when he piloted his
Pro4 in a superb run to the finish line making it 24
laps. From the Tamiya team Denmarks Steen Graversen
was also on a mission towards the top as he positioned
himself in the front group of fast racers. With the
track being faster in the late afternoon it was in the
last round of controlled practice that the fastest runs
were made.

I have found a few links to some pictures of the worlds and also some coverage from other sites.

Nuther one or two

I just had a look at the pits video and if you go to about half way in you will see the xray team working on the cars now take a good look at one of the cars and you can see the front c hub set up, looks like new parts to me.

I to have herd of this done but if you look at my car how do i fit the link under the wheel when as it is the screw head is very close allready, and on the team car it looks as if there is a spacer in there as well.
Now im sure they dont use a bigger wheel so something is very different dont you agree?

Possibly using inch up wheels and maybe a little wrk with a dremel on the upright as well.

You can expect a modified front end similar to above on my car by the end of the week.....

Can you let me know what the effect of this mod will be ?
