All-new rear brace between wing mount and rear chassis brace prevents rear gearbox breakage during impacts, as well as moving the transfer of energy to a different part of the chassis
All-new weight transfer from rear wing to the middle of the car reduces tension on the rear diff bulkhead
All-new rear body holder
All-new rear shock tower features two lines of shock absorber mounting positions and an updated design to allow fitment of the new wing mount and gearbox brace
Harder rear lower arms for increased side stability and improved durability in hot conditions
All-new stronger, reinforced steering ball joints for increased reliability
All-new composite graphite shims between steering ball and nut ensures free operation of pivot balls even in extremely dusty conditions
All-new improved diff O-rings for more precise differential sealing
Softer shock membranes for improved shock performance in bumpy conditions
Front & rear CVD drive shafts for increased rear traction
2.6mm rear sway bar for increased traction
All-new stronger head screws for diff bulkheads for more reliability
High-speed body for improved handling on high-speed tracks and improved rotation in tight corners

Strong head screws for diff bulkheads for better reliability
Composite upper deck with optimized flex which results in increased traction and improved steering characteristics.
Premium Swiss 7075 T6 shock towers
Rear shock tower features two lines of shock absorber mounting positions
Drivetrain
Conventional shaft-driven 4WD off-road drivetrain
Front & rear gear differential with adjustable oil viscosity featuring 46T crown gears and 14T pinion gears
Central differential with adjustable oil viscosity featuring 46T spur gear
Front & rear CVD drive shafts to generate more traction
All drive shafts manufactured from HUDY Spring Steel™
Central larger & stronger outdrives feature protective rubber boots, thick 3mm pins, and a protective locking ring
Full set of 22 high-speed, greased, blue-sealed ball-bearings ensure maximum efficiency
Differentials
Large volume high precision front, central, and rear gear differentials Rubber-sealed composite differential housings with reinforced internal diff gears with more teeth and improved tooth profiles
Differential internal gears made from pressed steel, heat treated, and machined for ultra‑high precision and smooth operation
Super-lightweight diff outdrives machined from HUDY Spring Steel™
Easy access to center differential
Center diff housing is sized to accommodate optional spur gears
Differential main gears manufactured from HUDY Gear Steel
Suspension
Longer rear arms make the car easier to drive in most track conditions
Harder rear lower arms increase side stability and improves durability in hot conditions
Pivot ball suspension concept to prevent binding in dusty conditions, while ensuring stable ride height in all traction conditions
Ultra-robust pivot ball suspension with integrated suspension geometry adjustment; different kingpin plates being the only optionally-available tuning parts
Suspension arms with optimal length, thickness, flexibility, geometry of suspension points, and material characteristics.
Suspension arms are the result of extensive design knowledge and exhaustive testing
Exclusive composite mixtures developed in-house by XRAY offer the perfect balance between reliability and performance, rigid enough to provide a responsive feel yet soft enough to survive extra-long main events and impact
Extra-strong & robust front upper arms accommodate pivot ball suspension.
Front upper pivot balls are combined with steel threaded part for maximum strength; aluminum ball is machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6 and additionally hardcoated for extended lifespan
Shock membranes from softer material for improved shock performance in bumpy conditions
Lower shock assembly features multiple high-quality silicone O-rings for smooth, free, leak-free operation
Front & rear shock springs feature a mix of progressive & linear rates; the springs are slightly progressive, but under larger compression they change characteristics to become more linear to give excellent feeling & feedback in all different track conditions.
Specially-designed shock springs have been specifically designed to complement the big-bore shocks
Shock springs are manually measured, selected and matched into pairs to guarantee precisely equal length and damping characteristics
HUDY Premium Silicone Oils are manufactured in Europe by a specialized premium silicone oil manufacturer. Each batch of premium oil is laboratory tested and calibrated to ensure the highest possible consistency and quality batch-to-batch. Based on the industry-standard cSt rating, the oils will be easy to identify, adjust, and feel.
Body & Wing
High-speed body for improved handling on high-speed tracks & with increased rotation in tight corners
High-quality Lexan™ body perfectly fits the car and works in most track conditions
Composite side guards protect the car, muffler, and fuel tank from side hits. The side guards perfectly fit the chassis and seal against dirt. Ribs on the left side guard protect the fuel tank from muffler heat.
Stylish, effective, and strong rear wing is made from strong special composite mixture, designed to survive severe abusive and extreme crashes while keeping its shape
40% lighter wing mount with super low CG and with considerably less weight behind the rear suspension significantly improves handling characteristics of the car and featuring construction that allows more flex as well features more optimized wing mounting positions
