Xray have released this graphite, asphalt-spec, front and rear upper deck set for the T2’008 touring car. CNC machined from premium grade graphite material, they have been specially designed and optimized for rubber-tire racing conditions. The narrow design provides appropriate torsion and flex, while the elongated profile reduces unwanted tweak in crashes. A new thinner 2mm top deck makes the car easier to drive because it increases overall traction and so Xray recommend using this optional top deck on low-traction tracks, mainly on asphalt but they can be also used on low-traction carpet. Suitable for the T2’008 EU edition only.

The 18th instalment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj talks about the development and testing of the all new XB808.
The new prototype suspension I decided to make so quickly before leaving were working really good, so I was really pleased that the efforts and energy we spent on that venture were really worth it. The testing team confirmed that these new parts improve the 808, so I had to arrange for the production of the new parts and fine-tuning the moulds. Unfortunately this would mean a few-week delay of the first production batch, but I did not want to make any compromises and wanted to ensure that the final product would meet our initial requirements on performance, handling and reliability.
