2015 All-New

Chassis.

The new narrower chassis was redesigned for improved steering response and overall traction on all track surfaces. The narrow chassis has more torsional stability which results in increased grip, while at the same time eliminates the scrub effect in high-speed corners. With the new narrower chassis, the car handles bumps much better as well.

The new chassis is dramatically narrowed in the rear area to allow composite pod links to move maximally to the center for better steering response and improved side-to-side weight transition.

Battery slots were removed and battery placement was modified to allow the fitting of standard as well as short LiPo batteries. The CNC-machined chassis is custom-manufactured from stiffer 2.5mm high-grade graphite material with a specially-designed compound for carpet racing.

Battery Placement.

Battery placement position in the chassis has a significant influence on weight balance adjustment. Since new LiPo batteries now replace older NiMH batteries, the under-chassis grooves have been removed. The chassis has been designed to use either standard-sized or short LiPo batteries; shorter LiPo batteries may be put in either a forward or rearward position, and secured by composite battery holders.

Rear Pod.

The new narrower chassis with new narrow rear pod design allows the composite rear pod links to be placed more centrally, resulting in increased steering response and improved side-to-side weight transition.

The compact and ultra-lightweight rear pod is constructed from high-strength aluminum bulkheads, a rear aluminum brace, and thin but strong high-grade graphite plates.

The smart pod design allows for super-easy motor top access, accommodating all motors. Eccentric composite bushings are included for ultra-fine rear ride height adjustment.

Side Tubes.

Lateral damper side tubes replace the side shock for smoother and more consistent operation. The lateral damping side tubes provide ultra-smooth side damping, making the car easier to drive and easier to work on. The outer aluminum tube and inner Delrin® tube operate ultra-smoothly.

Side Springs.

Side springs are placed directly on the chassis for smooth and precise movement.

Pod Upper Plate.

The rear pod upper plate has been designed to accommodate the new lateral damper side tubes.

Rear Link Brace.

The rear graphite brace has a reinforced design for increased durability and more resistance to tweak. With the new design, the side springs are placed directly on the pod graphite plate (instead of side links) for better and more consistent damping. The graphite brace has been redesigned to accommodate the new lateral damper side tubes, and also the aluminum stands have been lowered to allow for a lowered graphite brace for more steering.

Track-width Adjustment.

The front suspension has been completely redesigned and improved. The new lower suspension arms feature smart eccentric aluminum inserts which allow quick & easy changing and setting of track-width depending on track conditions. Optional aluminum 0.5mm and 1.0mm eccentrics are used to set wider or narrower track-width.

Ride Height Shims.

The new front suspension uses new ride height adjustment shims which enable very quick, precise and hassle-free ride height adjustment for various track conditions. The set of 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6mm ride height adjustment shims are included for fine tuning.

Hard Front Suspension Material.

New front lower arms are made from a harder material to make the car easier to drive and give smoother steering. Optional upper arms, steering blocks and front upper arm mounts are also available, made from a harder material.

Servo Saver.

New 4-spring servo saver gives more precise steering, making the car easier to drive while handling more consistently.

The tiny yet robust servo saver protects the servo from impact damage. Easy Ackermann adjustment is made via shims mounted below steering block pivot balls.

Kingpin Ball.

Composite front lower pivot balls replace the original steel balls, allowing the front suspension to work more smoothly.

Premium Composite Parts.

All composite parts are manufactured by XRAY using premium self-developed composite mixtures which guarantee sufficient flex of the suspension parts, while being hard enough to withstand hard impacts.

Front Suspension.

Strong, simple, yet refined front suspension made from strong, lightweight, self-developed composite material. Reactive caster settings available using 2.5°, 5.0° or 7.5° eccentric bushings. Tiny yet strong HUDY Spring Steel™ upper pivot balls ensure smooth, bind-free operation, while composite lower pivot balls allow the front suspension to operate even more smoothly. Fast & easy adjustment of front caster, track-width, roll center and ride height via included shims and clips.

Reactive Caster.

Reactive caster is easily adjustable by using easy-to-change eccentric bushings of 2.5°, 5.0° or 7.5° (included). Reactive caster is used to adjust the amount of caster change when the front end of the car is compressing (diving) or decompressing (rising).

Steering.

Chassis features pre-drilled holes for the servo mounts on both left and right side which allows the placement of the servo to balance the car as necessary. Aluminum servo stands allow flat mounting of the servo to the chassis to keep lowest possible CG.

Adjustable Ackermann.

The quick adjustable Ackermann positions can be adjusted by adding/removing shims between the servo and servo holders. The composite shims included in the kit come in three different sizes: 3x6x1, 3x6x2, 3x6x3. Ackermann influences the steering of the car, and therefore it is important to make it an adjustable feature.

Rear Suspension.

The rear suspension features a conventional rear pod that is adjustable via pivot-ball links, providing extremely easy assembly and tuning while being very effective and give the highest competitive performance.

Alu Bulkheads.

Rear POD bulkheads are CNC-machined from premium extra-hard Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum, additionally black coated for long life and stylish look. The bulkheads are strategically machined to reduce weight to minimum while retaining strength.

Rear Ride Height.

Ride height is easily adjustable using included eccentric rear axle bushings, as well as adjustable shock preload for middle ride height adjustment.

Motor Access.

The open top design of the rear pod left-side bulkhead provides super-easy motor top access. The rear pod accommodates all motors.

Rear Axle.

The ultra strong lightweight steel axle is used to provide maximum reliability even in the serious crashes. The rear differential features high-grade precision carbide balls for spur gear, hardened and precision-ground D-steel shims, and premium carbide axial thrust bearing.

Spur Gear.

Precision-molded spur gear is made from XRAY's exclusive composite material, ensuring true running, super-quiet operation, and robustness for handling powerful motors. A range of optional spur gears for fine tuning is available.

Micro Shock Absorber.

XRAY micro shock has a scaled-down design from its “big brother” counterpart in XRAY’s successful touring car platform. The fully-adjustable shock features an aluminum shock body that is hard-anodized for ultra durability. The fine-threaded shock body allows for quick and easy shock spring preload adjustment. Tiny thin shock membrane gives smooth dampening characteristics, and a super-soft silicone shock O-ring gives super-smooth operation while preventing oil leakage. The ultra-finely finished shock shaft with precise-molded composite shock piston ensures optimum shock oil flow and smooth shock absorber action. A simple yet smart shock construction allows for quick and easy shock-length adjustment for rear pod downstop adjustment.

Adjustable Turnbuckles.

Front upper 3mm adjustable HUDY Spring Steel™ camber turnbuckles are lightweight yet can withstand hard impacts, with precision threading to ensure fine camber adjustment. Adjustable 4mm steering linkages are made from lightweight aluminum.

Wheel Axles.
