Från XB8 till XB9

XRAY column #58:

"XRAY entered the world of dust and dirt with the first XB8 back in 2004, followed with a completely new and updated 808 platform in 2008. Since the very first days in the off-road world we have enjoyed some great times but also faced many challenges. Over the years we put together a very stable and professional team but in the “peak“ years we also experienced some unexpected moves and shifts from team drivers who were blinded by unrealistic promises flying around. Over the years we have enjoyed some great results including achieving European Championship titles, and we were also very close to grabbing the World Championship title in Jakarta. And mixed in with some great race results and achievements, we have also experienced the “flip side” at major races where none of the team drivers made it to the main finals. We’ve ridden all these ups and downs for years and we have always continued to work on further car development and improvements regardless of current results or the situation in the market which has seen some excessive moments."

Martin Bayer till XRAY!

XRAY is proud to announce that Europe’s top off-road driver Martin Bayer is joining the XRAY factory racing team. Martin Bayer is the European large-scale Champion as well as multiple European Championship finalist with podium finishes in the off-road category. Martin is a 5-time Czech National Champion and regular finalist at international races in the last few years.

Juraj Hudy, XRAY Chief Designer, says:
"Martin is one of the most dedicated and professional off-road racers in Europe and I am happy that Martin will race and work for XRAY. Martin lives only 1 hour away from the XRAY factory, which will allow us to work very effectively and flexibly, especially considering that as a family they have their own racing track which will boost the pace of development and testing. After we signed Ales Bayer to join the team last year, it took a bit more time to show his brother Martin that we at XRAY are not only the world’s only real RC car manufacturer with all in-house production capabilities, but that we are also completely dedicated to perfection in products and service. With the all-new XB9 platform and the all-new professional racing team being set up all around the world, we are very pleased that Martin has joined our racing and development team."

Martin will race the all-new XB9 starting in January 2012 and will participate at all major international races including the Neorace, all the main GP races, national race series, and of course the European and World Championship races.

Martin Bayer says:
"To change teams was a very difficult decision for me, and I want to thank my previous sponsors with whom I have worked in the last few years. Over the years I have watched the work of XRAY and I have been in the XRAY factory several times to see and experience all the R&D and manufacturing potential they have in their facility. It is simply amazing and unbelievable what Juraj has achieved in such a short time and how with his passion he brought the XRAY brand amongst the best and most admired companies in the RC world. I was stunned with XRAY’s new product and team projects; the R&D opportunity that Juraj introduced me to has convinced me to join XRAY’s racing and R&D team. It is an all-new challenge for me and I will give it the best I can. I am excited as I have ever been."
