| Xray Racing Series EuroRC Finland – Report Posted: 26 Nov 2019 09:01 AM PST The XRS EuroRC Finland race was held last weekend at the FullspeedRC on-road track in Hakkila, Finland. The relaxed format of the race attracted some of the fastest on-road drivers from all over the country, Estonia and Russia to attend in Touring Car Modified and Stock classes, Euro Truck, C-12 and GT-12 categories. In the beginning it was obvious that local hero Karri Salmela (Team Associated) was the man to beat in the Touring Modified class and on home soil. He had spent thousands laps to refine his equipment, however Karri was struggling to keep all his car‘s wheels on the ground while Juho Levänen (Xray) clocked the fastest times in two of the three qualifiers and took a valued TQ spot followed by Karri in 2nd and Pekko Iivonen (Schumacher) in 3rd. The mains were a thriller and the battle for the win was between Karri and Juho. The remainder of the pack had no speed to challenge these two. Karri kept the wheels on the ground and kept constant pressure with aggressive driving on Juho, forcing him to make tiny mistakes. The mistakes made room for a pass in the first and second A-main and Karri was able to bring home the win by a slight margin over Juho while Pekko Iivonen came in 3rd overall. In Touring Stock 13.5T it was Juho Koskivuo with the overall win from Lasse Ilvessalo in 2nd and Valtteri Pausio in 3rd. Touring Stock saw Janne Koivisto on top with Jethro Lehtojarvi and Ville Ahola coming in 2nd and 3rd respectively. The Euro Truck class saw Tuomo Otsavaara walking away with the silverware as Martti Honkasalo and Ville Paasto completed the top 3 results. C-12 had Sami Munck coming out on the top spot as Tuukka Tiainen and Petri Tuomainen finished in 2nd and 3rd respectively. Last but not least in the GT-12 category it was Jaakko Huhmarsalo with the day’s win from Ville Aalto on the runner-up spot. Esa Hintsala completed the top 3 result.

| Xray XB4 2020 1/10th 4WD buggy kit Posted: 26 Nov 2019 06:41 AM PST Xray have introduced the 2020 variant of their IFMAR World Championship winning XB4 1/10th 4WD electric buggy kit. The popular vehicle underwent some sort of a redesign for the new season with a longer chassis making for improved stability while a more narrow design in the bulkhead area allows the use of optional longer arms. The gearboxes also saw an update, making them more narrow to make way for the new narrow suspension mounts and thus updated arm positions. A rear gearbox raiser plate improved the gearbox’s position when running in high-bite track conditions and inside the bulkheads operate redesigned gear differentials with larger oil volume, resulting in more consistent performance over a run. Part of the new diff package are also separate new-module crown gears and composite diff covers for better serviceability and a lower weight. Also new in the driveline area are new module crown gears for more efficient operation as well as centre driveshafts with larger 2.5mm cross pins. New, longer front and rear outer driveshafts, an updated motor mount for easier pinion gear access as well as an all-new centre upper graphite brace and a shorter slipper assembly with a wider adjustment range round out the drivetrain package. Other features include new aluminium roll centre mounts on rear uprights with updated roll centre positions, a revised rear graphite shock tower can be mounted from both sides of the gearbox to fine-tune the shock setup weight balance, and reinforced servo saver stands make for improved steering precision while a new shape improves clearance. The kit is rounded out by an improved servo mount system to optimise steering consistency in high traction conditions. The kit has already shipped and should be available by the time you read this.
