Coming from Arena and made for the Xray T4 series of touring cars are 1mm carbon fibre upper deck shims. The spacers raise the top deck by 1mm, making for slightly softer chassis flex characteristics than standard in order to further fine-tune the overall flex available. The set includes four precision-machined carbon fibre shims that are a direct fit on all T4 models.

The Xray Racing Series Slovakia was held at the famous Hudy Racing Arena in Trencin last weekend. The race was held in several electric off-road and on-road classes with off-road splitting into 62 2WD Buggy, 55 4WD Buggy, and four Truck entries. The race saw Martin Bayer on the top in all three qualification runs of 2WD and 4WD. Unsurprisingly Martin took the overall double TQ, Adam Izsay put his buggy on the 2 spot and Max Götzl completed the top 3 grid in both classes. Max also ran the Truck category and was able to take the TQ in front of Christoph Holzer and Lukasz Piecyk.

In the finals, Martin took wins in A1 and A2 of 2WD and also 4WD, securing an early overall double win. Behind him the battle for the runner-up spots was on between Adam and Max, with both scoring 2 and 3 finishes. Ultimately it was Adam with the runner-up spots in both classes from Max in 3rd, making it all-Xray podiums in 2WD and 4WD Buggy.

In the Truck class Max easily won all three A-mains for the overall from Christoph Holzer and Lukasz Piecyk.
