XRAY is excited to release the next evolution of the XII, the all-new XRAY 1/12 pan car platform: the X12. Direct feedback from factory team drivers, as well as customers from around the world, allowed the XRAY factory to turn a concept into reality… this is what we do best at XRAY. New battery placement means better car balance and weight transfer, and stiffer chassis material and more robust suspension material creates a car that is significantly easier to drive. By rethinking and then creating a completely new geometry where we elongate the wheelbase and widen the front track-width, we created a car that works exceptionally well for beginners, highly-skilled drivers, and everyone in between. And to make a car even easier to work on, we replaced the side shock with newly-designed side tube lateral dampers. Lowered rear bulkheads and an improved rear axle system allow the use of super-small tires while providing a super-low center of gravity.
Say goodbye to XII... say hello to the all-new X12.
