XRAY in January 2009 Issue of Xtreme RC Cars

This monthly tradition continues for January. Every month I list the XRAY mentions in Xtreme RC Cars. So here we go.

• Page 30: Two of XRAY's newest on-road RC cars are featured. The XRAY T2'009 and XII get 2/3 of the page. Both electric cars were announced on the XRAY website shortly before the magazine went to press. There's an Xtreme RC Cars FAIL. They incorrectly display XRAY's website as http://www.xray.com when it is actually http://www.teamxray.com.
• Page 61: XRAY took out a full page advertisement for the T2'009. It includes some history of the T1 and T2 touring car line and the specifications for the US foam and EU rubber versions. Juraj Hudy is also photographed in the lower right.
• Page 63: The first annual Team Orion Invitational was held on November 2, 2008 at Bending Corners Raceway in Orange, CA. The XRAY T2'008 was photographed and placed second and tenth in the Invite Mod class.
• Page 100: Xtreme RC Cars reviews the Mugen Seiki MBX6 and the XRAY 808 is listed as main competition of this new 1/8th scale off-road, nitro buggy.
• Page 150: Xtreme RC Cars includes a Learn How-To section each month and they describe how to adjust Ackerman. A photo of the XRAY T2'008 is featured on the last page of the article.
• Page 176: The In Gear section features the new Graphite Ventilated Brake Disks for the XRAY XT8 and 808. Xtreme RC Cars says the part number is 2206 but that's another FAIL. The correct part number is #354111. I'm also not so sure they will work with the XT8 because XRAY's part list shows the graphite brake pads are only for the 808. Two graphite pads comes in a pack and they'll cost you about $15 USD.
• Page 182: The magazine pulls out old back issues in their Xtreme Chronicles. 10 years ago they mention the HPI RS4 Mini Pro and how small scale touring cars never got going. They end with "If you ever want one of these now, check out XRAY's T1M.

Let me know if I missed one. Thanks.
