Race report by Vesa Yli The third round of the FinTrack Nationals was held at the well-known Rebellion Race racetrack in Mäntsälä, in a large sports hall with plenty of seats for spectators.
The Light-Blue shocks springs (#358095) which are included in the kit are NOT the light-blue springs. By a mistake in the color coating process the Dark-Blue springs (#358096) were coated with Light-Blue color. Therefore the springs which are in the kit, despite they have Light-Blue color, in the reality the characteristics and the springs are Dark-Blue. We suggest to use for the basic set-up either the White springs or the correct Light-Blue springs from the XB8 or XB8TQ kit. With any further questions please contact info@teamxray.com Source : XRAY

Action Hobbies Kingsville, outside Windsor, Ontario, Canada hosted their third annual March Meltdown March 16-18. Racers from Ontario and Michigan were present to test their skills on the fast-yet-technical layout on the Action Hobbies Kingsville track. Through practice and qualifying the high speed and flowing turns of the track showed that a premium would be placed on precision and consistency. Andy Vetor secured TQ in both stock and 19T with his XRAY, showing that in the hands of a skilled tuner/driver it is still a competitive car.
