Xray X4F’24 FWD Touring Car

In a busy week for 1:10 Front Wheel Drive Touring Car kit releases, with the unveiling of the new Team Magic E4FWD and Schumacher FT8, Xray presents its new X4F’24.  All-new Feature of the car include a 2mm shorter wheelbase that improves steering and handling characteristics.  A Lower profile motor mount with more slick design eliminates collision with top deck when flexing.  New 3mm centering pins improve motor mount reliability when using limited mounting screws for flex tuning.  The car gets a narrower motor bulkhead insert which moves the motor 1mm inward for better chassis roll characteristics and provides more space for the pinion gear.  Durability is improved with heavy duty lower bulkheads while maintaining ultra-low weight with heavy duty upper clamps improve durability in hard crashes.  In the area of suspension 9mm shorter XLP shocks improve cornering speed, steering response, and stability for better control on all surfaces.  The 2.6g lighter shocks remove 10.4g from the ends of the chassis improving weight placement while retaining the same internal oil volume compared to ULP shocks for consistent dampening.  8mm lower front shock tower lowers CG with two optimised shock mounting positions while the rear shock tower is strengthened to improves durability in severe crashes and improves CG and optimise handling.  Also new is a redesigned servo mounting system with a bit more frontward servo position provides better weight balance and improves clearance between servo and pinion.  New 2x50g chassis weights relocated under the front driveshafts at the centreline of the front suspension improve on/off-power weight transfer for better balance and rotation.
