For years running off road center mount was the norm. I wonder what has been the hold up on sedan? Center mount is the future. And now that it is obviously possible and some one has put it out I;m supprised the cry for it is'nt a lot louder.
Mauhbid4 thanks for the pics. That is differant. I wonder if its really worth it the xray desighn really was'nt. Unless you can get the motor vents in the right position. Cool idea as far as a sales gimmick I think. It looks like the air blows right back out the other 3 vents. Good looking car. And definitly fast.

I think the fans are really the only significant way to cool any motor.
I like the battery cut outs simply to get wieght lower. And then the motor lower. I dont think the vents are really that significant.
But kill two birds with one stone I always say.
And if you need a fan to cool it your geared to high. I thought fans were for the speedo?

Thats great but there are 2 problems:

1. It pulls 150 deg air from the track surface and blows it on somthing you are trying to cool.

2. The bottom of the chassis is a low pressure area so nothing ever blows up through holes in the chassis.

Classis holes are mainly for lightening and looks.

Adian you could sell a rock to a cave man.
Do you have any purple ones.
I thought the cut outs were for a little flex on the asphalt?
I guess thats 2 stones?

www.speedtechrc.com
and many more....

If you insult another company's parts availability without checking the facts, you might drive an XRay.

On line you can also get cars and parts from:

www.schumacher-rc.com
www.fasttrackhobbies.com
www.superiorhobbies.com
www.speedtechrc.com
and many more....
Hmm..and not a single one in the Kansas City area... Not saying that's your fault. Though I do know that if I wanted one, Fastlane or Hobbytown would probably be more then happy to help me get it.

I'd add Threaded body shocks to the list of innovations for touring cars. Anyone else remember having to use shock clips to balance their chassis?

Considering threaded shock bodies have been around since 82-83, I don't think you could call that innovative
