Xray NT1 2016 1/10th nitro on-road kit

Xray have introduced the latest incarnation of their highly successful NT1 1/10th 200mm nitro on-road car. The reigning IFMAR World and EFRA European Champion, the platform received very subtle changes and refinements for the new season that mainly address setup options and Xray’s own Multi-Flex technology to allow for real fine-tuning in terms of chassis flex. The 2016 kit is based on a new 7075-T6 aluminium main chassis that has been redesigned to accept the new 2-speed layshafts bulkheads for better and more precise placement. Two extra holes for the new engine mounts further widen the setup window while the very narrow design minimises chassis scrubbing during hard cornering to make for improved overall performance.

Dynamite Blue Thunder HP8 & Sport nitro fuels

Available soon are Dynamite’s new Blue Thunder HP8 and Sport nitro fuels. Starting with the HP8 racing fuel, the juice was formulated by world-renown brand VP Racing Fuels and its 9 percent castor-enhanced blend will make for crisp throttle response without compromising internal component protection. The reduced oil content also allows the engine to achieve optimum operating temperature faster, allowing to fine-tune the engine with less warm-up time. The HP8 fuel is available in 20 percent and 30 percent nitro blends. Also new is the Sport fuel, developed by Ron Paris and formulated by VP Racing Fuels. A unique additive called ZX-7 provides over-lean indication protection, making it ideal for less-experienced users. On the track, if the engine is over-leaned, the driver will immediately notice that the car will hesitate during acceleration, indicating that it is time to pull in and richen the mixture. If the engine continues to run at these overly lean settings it will quit before damage to internal engine components occurs. Like HP8 the Sport fuel is available as 20 percent and 30 percent nitro blend.
