It’s 194mm width allows you to run wider suspension or wheel hex set ups which is excellent for high grip tracks to reduce rolling. Like the real car its is based on, the Pzero R has deeply sculpted body lines that sits super low around the suspension for reduced drag, increased air flow to the rear wing and super low centre of gravity. The Pzero R is also molded with an aggressive splitter, flared fenders, low slung hood, downforce inducing side skirts and extra rear spoiler elements for the most aggressive aero package with minimal drag. Exotek Racing’s new wing design also has raised wing pedestals placing the wing higher up into clean air and also is more adjustable- allowing you to mount the wing forward or back or add spacers to raise the wing higher.

Xray confirms Champions return for MIBO International

Xray has confirmed that two of its MIBO International Champions will return to the third annual running of the Czech indoor onroad/offroad race early next month. Inaugural Pro-Stock Champion Adam Izsay returns and the recent GP3F winner will not only look to retake the Pro-Stock title Xray has won at the previous two editions but he will also step up to compete in the Modified class against the likes of Schumacher’s reigning Champion Michal Orlowski and the Mugen Seiki of inaugural Champion Ronald Volker. In Offroad, defending 4WD Champion Bartek Zalewski, who really made a name for himself at last year’s MIBO International, heads the Slovakian manufacturer’s quest for a third consecutive 4WD title on the offroad track. Bruno Coelho was the winner at the first running of the event that is organised by former top international Czech touring car racer Michal Bok and his well known RC company Mibosport. A sell-out event, the 2025 MIBO International will be very much a family affair for Xray with company founder Juraj Hudy one of 5 of the Hudy family’s three generations who will be racing at the Sport V Hotel based event on February 7-9th.
