Impact in the rear. Impacts have 4 packs on them, Reflexes are brand new.

The same applies to Pro-Line. Either Xray does not want any aftermarket bodies because they offer their own range or the aftermarket has declined because Xray offer their own range. Whatever the case, I haven't seen an Xray driver with something else than an Xray body for quite a while, but some of the company's decisions in the past few months seem weird to me as an outsider. Maybe this is why Daniel Kobbevik felt he had to leave, I'll never know...

The simplest answer is sales were dismal for anything we made for Xray.

I'm sure there are multiple reason for this, but one is they wouldn't allow their team drivers to run aftermarket bodies up until very recently. Plus they are known for just copying whatever is the hot body from aftermarket companies

Paul, do you have an ETA in Europe for the 22X4/B74.1 Mono front wheels 3353(Y)? IIRC they were a November release.
Thank you as always for your commitment!

We do have them in stock, but unfortunately I really don't know in regards to the Euro dist/dealers. It is somewhat common for the Euro dist/dealer orders to be held for a period of time on the floor via their instructions. My guess is to make sure the order meets a certain size before shipping.

Not everybody likes the same style, of course, but in my opinion, the aftermarket must have been very happy when they saw the kit body! 😅

B74.1 question which I’m hoping will apply to my 6.4D which hasn’t been built yet as well. My local track is high grip indoor clay, was advised to buy silver ellipses and slick them out but can’t find them in stock anywhere for the life of me in quantities that are worth buying. So has anyone been able to run silver vs gold ellipses back to back? How significant is the difference? (Slicked out btw)

The silver ellipse slicked wears out after a few runs. The smoothie 2 lasts much longer but good luck finding them. I'm not sure what their problem is. Other brands are typically easy to get.

Seems like first batches go to their top drivers which is fine. The stupidity comes in with then all of their 50 percent “sponsored” contracted customers getting them next.
