Donuts Racing Shopping! RC Team Shopping! Absolute Hobbyz Shopping! Aigoin Racing CFF Arms. Innovative CFF™ front upper arms make the X1 extremely responsive & sharp, generate fantastic cornering speed & traction, and simplify the camber adjustment process for easy setup changes. The unique CFF™ suspension arms are an elegant engineering achievement first used on our X4 platform that look great and perform even better on the track. Using XRAY’s own newly developed manufacturing process, a carbon fiber arm and composite arm are molded together using a fusion process to produce a single CFF™ suspension arm. The benefits of the CFF™ arms are tremendous. The thickness of the inner carbon fiber plate determines the hardness and flex of the arm. The composite around the carbon helps control its flex and rebound, resulting in a very consistent feel from corner to corner. CFF Arms Mounting. Thanks to the unique design of the CFF™ arms, all the suspension components are mounted directly on the arm without additional brackets, bushings or extensions. This direct mounting eliminates unwanted play between these extra components. Most importantly, the reliability and accuracy of the direct mounting ensure that settings remain consistent during a run even after a crash. Front Suspension. The front suspension was redesigned for improved reliability, strength, lowered CG and improved ease of adjustment. Front CFF upper arms, front upper arm mount and one-piece central bulkhead are all new. Central Bulkhead. One-piece central front bulkhead integrates the steering arm mount and optimized wheelbase adjustments for simplicity. Front Track-Width. The two different arm mount plates included in the kit have distinct track-width settings. Narrow track width – Outer holes on the suspension arms and narrow arm plate are suggested when using standard front tire sizes like HUDY or RIDE. Wide track width – Inner holes on suspension arms and wider arm plate are suggested when using narrow front tires likes Volante. The wide track setting increased track width by 5mm on each side. Front Arm Brace. The new front alu central bulkhead can be connected to the graphite arm mount plate and lower suspension arms to increase steering response. There are three different flex settings. Camber. Front camber is easily adjusted via adjustable front upper. No longer requiring multiple camber bushings to make changes, the entire camber range is easily adjusted directly on the suspension. Caster. Caster is easily adjusted via front upper plate eccentric alu bushings. The kit includes a set of 2 dots eccentric bushings with 4.5°/9° caster setting. Using optional bushings and changing the orientation of the bushings, additional caster settings of 3°, 6°, 7.5° and 10.5° can be achieved. Chassis. All new chassis is updated to accept the CFF™ front suspension, redesigned battery backstop with safer mounting, and revised wheelbase settings with reinforced chassis areas. Battery Mount System. Convenient battery mounting system secures the pack without O-ring or tape in a tweak-free, floating manner that improves traction and consistency, and features new low profile lightweight bushings for a sleeker look and lower CG. Side Braces. The chassis side braces are updated to use the lightweight, low profile alu bushings to replace the traditional lock nuts and reducing the chances of chassis tweak while lowering the CG. Top Deck. The center top deck was redesigned for easier mounting and compatibility with the new wheelbase adjustments, featuring three different holes for shock mounting positions depending on the wheelbase setting. Wheelbase Adjustment. The front suspension position has a 6mm adjustment range on the new chassis to alter the X1 wheelbase. A short wheelbase is suggested for foam tires while longer wheelbase settings are generally better suited for rubber tires. Short Setting – Suggested for foam tiresLong Setting – Suggest for rubber tires Independent Wing Mount System. The independent wing mount system is now machined from stiffer carbon fiber material for more stable handling and features 2 centering pins for a more secure assembly.
