In the world of the small, agile, and super-fast 1/12 pancars, winners are separated from the rest of the pack sometimes by only fractions of a second. With simpler designs compared to larger touring cars, attention to detail is paramount.
The new XRAY XII may at first glance seem like a simple and traditional design, but thatâ™s where the similarities end. The XRAY XII achieves a state of perfection by focusing on well thought-out refinements to create a car that is easy to drive, work on, and adjust.
Top-quality materials such as self-developed composite mixtures, HUDY Spring Steel™, premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum and highest-grade graphite are the signature of XRAY and the XII has them in abundance. Designed in virtual reality using the worldâ™s most sophisticated CAD tools, and manufactured using the worldâ™s best machining and molding machinery, the XII achieves a level of premium perfection in all details that is second to none. All parts are purpose-designed and manufactured by XRAY, so all parts fit and work perfectly together.
In a world where overly-complicated designs hinder rather than enhance, the XII stands alone and ahead as the best performing out-of-the-box racer.
See it. Feel it. Drive it.
