CSO Xray NT1 Carbon chassis plate

Currently in development by CSO in Hong Kong, is this carbon fibre chassis plate for the Xray NT1 1/10th scale chassis. They are currently fine tuning the chassis thickness but so far it has performed very well in testing and thanks to its 60 grams of weight savings, seems to give the car better fuel economy too. As with all non metal chassis plates in gas cars, heat transfer is a concern, but testing in 20 degree (C) heat proved to be no problem for the engine and chassis. They will give the chassis its biggest test to date at the KM Cup that takes place at the end of this month in Bangkok, where the competition will be strong and the heat and humidity really high. We will keep you posted on further developments.

Novarossi 1/10th INS Box & Pipe

For the 2009 season onwards, the 1/10th scale 200mm class requires the use of the noise reducing INS Box. As shown during our coverage of the Toy Fair in Germany last month, Novarossi have now released their IFMAR/EFRA homologated INS Box for competition. Three months in development, the new air filter has minimal effect on the engine performance yet reduces the noise to below approved levels. Also new for the coming 1/10th season, Novarossi’s new tuned pipe fully complies with EFRA regulations (2652) and has undergone extensive testing by their factory team. The new pipe offers improved low end power together with better fuel consumption and works perfectly with the 2009 353 Race engine.

Extra Vitamin C – Xray T2’009

For some time now Xray is known as one of the most proactive manufacturers when it comes to enhancing the performance of their own products. While other companies stick with a design for many years it’s a good tradition of the Slovakian manufacturer to update their products on a yearly basis. The best example is the T-line of electric touring cars, that for some time now is named after the year they are designed for. This tradition started in 2006 when the T2 ‘007 came out. At the end of 2008 the T2 ‘009 was introduced, and beside the change in name something new, at least for Xray, pleased the eyes of the strong Xray following: orange anodising.
