Legendary XRAY premium design, workmanship & material quality and unmatched attention to the finest details
Simple yet effective and proven design, well thought-out details, unmatched precision of all small details
High-competition design with focus on ultra-low weight, resulting in super-lightweight construction
Optimized for indoor carpet racing as well as outdoor asphalt racing
Chassis
Grooves under the front suspension are smaller to stiffen the flex and optimize the steering characteristics to make the car easier to drive

Chassis includes holes for composite battery backstops
CNC-machined chassis from stiff custom-manufactured 2.5mm high-grade graphite material with specially-designed compound for carpet and asphalt racing
Chassis layout designed to give sufficient stiffness for excellent handling, but flexible enough to generate sufficient grip and traction
Chassis and rear pod features pre-drilled centerline holes for optimum weight balance adjustment using HUDY Balancing Tool #107880
Composite front chassis protectors protect the front of the chassis in crashes
Robust body posts with fully-adjustable body holders; optional super fine +1 or +2mm body backstops available optionally for even more super-fine body height adjustment
Tiny lightweight antenna mount secures lightweight yet strong molded fiberglass rollover antenna
Chassis design allows to use both horizontal and vertical battery placement

Lower suspension arms feature smart eccentric aluminum inserts for quick & easy changing and setting up of track-width
Optional aluminum 0.5mm and 1.0mm eccentrics are used to set the track-width either narrower or wider
Ride height adjustment shims for very quick, precise and hassle-free ride height adjustment for various track conditions; set of 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6mm ride height adjustment Shims are included
All composite parts manufactured by XRAY using premium self-developed composite mixtures which guarantee sufficient flex of the suspension parts yet hard enough to withstand heavy crashes
Fast & easy front caster adjustment via included clips
Reactive caster adjustment of preset 2.5°, 5.0° or 7.5° via easy-to-change eccentric bushings
Ultra-precise wheel axles CNC-machined from premium HUDY Spring Steel™ additionally hardened and hand ground for precision fitment
High-precision, HUDY Spring Steel™ upper pivot balls ensure super-fine movement of the front suspension under compression
Composite lower pivot balls allow the front suspension to work more smoothly
Front upper 3mm adjustable HUDY Spring Steel™ camber turnbuckles are lightweight yet can withstand heavy crashes
Steering
Chassis features predrilled holes for the servo mounts on both left and right side which allows the placement of the servo to balance the car as necessary
Super-tiny yet robust steering blocks with specially-designed axles which prevent axle spinning while tightening the wheel locking nuts
Pivoting front suspension with super-smooth hardened steel kingpins supported by soft springs; optional medium, hard, and extra-hard suspension springs available as options
Aluminum servo mounts position servo flat on the chassis to ensure lower possible center of gravity
Tiny yet robust servo saver with easy Ackermann adjustment via shims mounted below pivot balls
4-spring servo saver makes the car steer more precisely and smoothly
Specially-designed narrow composite ball joints
Adjustable, super lightweight Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum turnbuckles
Rear pod:
Compact and ultra-lightweight narrow rear pod constructed from high-strength aluminum bulkheads, rear aluminum brace, and strong high-grade 2.5mm graphite plates
New lighter & smaller pod pivot ball decreases the weight of moving parts and increases the movement angle of the rear pod plate
Composite upper & lower pivot brace was redesigned to lower the pivot ball by 0.5mm to improve roll center height
Composite rear pod links located centrally and moved 3mm more towards the center, resulting in increased steering response and improved side-to-side weight transition
Rear pod upper includes mounting hole for optional side shock, for different damping characteristics
Redesigned rear link brace allows battery relocation by 4mm rearward when using cross chassis alignment, for improved steering characteristics
Rear pod bulkheads CNC-machined from premium extra-hard Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum, additionally black coated for long life and stylish look
Rear bulkheads are strategically machined to reduce weight to minimum while retaining strength
Premium-grade graphite upper deck provides solid attachment for shock absorber to rear pod
Tweak-resistant graphite rear brace
Super-easy motor top access
Rear pod accommodates all motors
Eccentric composite bushings included for ultra-fine rear ride height adjustment
Rear differential features high-grade precision carbide balls for spur gear, hardened and precision-ground D-steel shims, and premium carbide 3x8mm axial thrustbearing
Ultra-strong hollow rear axle
Precision-molded spur gear made from XRAY's exclusive composite material, ensuring true running, super-quiet operation, super lightness and robustness for handling powerful motors
Aluminum rear hubs machined from lightweight aircraft aluminum, specially lightened and black coated for stylish look
Lightweight rear wheel mounting screws for reduced rotating weight
Rear left aluminum wheel hub with center-balanced clamping mounting system, ensures secure mounting while eliminating vibration and run-out
