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.

Didnt associated use the air scoop on trhe tc4, except they also had two fans to pull the air through?

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?

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.

We have two tracks around with hobby shop (CEFX, Larry's) both stocks xray and corally no problem with part support here. They stock the parts because those are the cars most racers have...
