More info on the XRAY XII
Posted on December 20, 2008 by Admin

“In the world of the small, agile, and super-fast 1/12 pancars, winners are separated from the rest of the pack sometimes by only fractions of a second. With simpler designs compared to larger touring cars, attention to detail is paramount. The new XRAY XII may at first glance seem like a simple and traditional design, but that’s where the similarities end. The XRAY XII achieves a state of perfection by focusing on well thought-out refinements to create a car that is easy to drive, work on, and adjust. Top-quality materials such as self-developed composite mixtures, HUDY Spring Steel™, premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum and highest-grade graphite are the signature of XRAY and the XII has them in abundance. Designed in virtual reality using the world’s most sophisticated CAD tools, and manufactured using the world’s best machining and molding machinery, the XII achieves a level of premium perfection in all details that is second to none. All parts are purpose-designed and manufactured by XRAY, so all parts fit and work perfectly together. In a world where overly-complicated designs hinder rather than enhance, the XII stands alone and ahead as the best performing out-of-the-box racer.
