XRAY GTXE 1/8 Electric On-Road Car

From XRAY:
All new GTXE

The GTXE is an all-new 1/8 luxury electric GT car based on the XRAY’s European Championship-winning platform. GTXE incorporates all the finest details to achieve a state of perfection.

Philosophy

With XRAY’s uncompromising design philosophy bringing everything together to make the best GT electric car, the GTXE captures the unique XRAY character, born of precision craftsmanship, highest attention to detail, and using the finest materials.

Made in Europe

Designed, developed, and fully manufactured in-house at the XRAY factory in Slovakia, Europe, using the most high-tech German & Swiss machines and premium European materials, crafted with XRAY’s legendary attention to detail by our artistic production specialists. The GTXE is truly a masterpiece.

Chassis

The chassis is CNC-machined from 3mm high-quality Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum, strategically machined in low-stress areas, and then anodized to make it as light as possible without affecting strength or rigidity.

The chassis is specially designed for the electric version to allow for the best chassis flex, weight balance, and clean chassis design.

Chassis Braces

Front and rear chassis braces have significant influence on chassis stiffness and flex, and as such have a great impact on handling under different grip conditions.

The longer rear brace is moulded from a medium-stiff composite mixture for proper flex & rigidity, and allows the mounting of optional graphite inserts to reinforce the brace to make it even stiffer (suitable for high-traction conditions).

Battery Plate

The battery plate design allows to move battery more frontwards or rearwards, giving significant influence on weight balance adjustment.

The rear of the plate has a dedicated area for speed controller placement. Velcro® strips are included for quick & easy battery mounting.

Electronics Weight Balance

The layout of the electronics placement was designed with the attention to the optimum weight distribution and weight balance. During the design and prototyping phase several different layouts were tested and an extensive amount of data was collected, compared and evaluated by the factory team before the final design was chosen.

Drivetrain

The GTXE has a conventional shaft-drive 4WD drivetrain featuring:

front & rear gear differentials with adjustable oil viscosity, 46T crown gears, and 14T pinion gears central 49T spur gear front, rear, and central CVD drive shafts

Gear Differential

Rubber-sealed composite differential housings feature steel inserts that are manually precision ground after the molding process to guarantee a perfect fit with no vibration. Differential internal gears are made from pressed steel, which are then heat treated and machined for ultra high precision and smooth operation.

Diff Gears

Differential main gears are manufactured from HUDY Gear Steel on a precision manual gear machine. The material was specially formulated and developed for use in gears. All gears are hardened to provide the longest possible lifespan.

Diff Outdrives

Super-lightweight diff outdrives are machined from HUDY Spring Steel™ with unnecessary material removed from the outer part of the outdrives to reduce rotating weight without affecting durability. The inner portions of the outdrives are additionally hand-ground for maximum precision and fitment into the diff case.

The outdrives are hardened using HUDY’s own special hardening process to provide extended lifespan and reliability

Center Transmission

The center solid axle is a precision-manufactured, super-smooth layshaft made from tough HUDY shaft steel, which is additionally heat treated for superior strength and long life.

The gear adapter is CNC-machined from Swiss 7075 T6 for super-precise and wobble-free installation of spur gear.

Motor Mount

The motor is connected to a mounting plate, with the assembly then inserted into an integrated motor holder/drivetrain support. The design of this system allows quick & easy motor rotation to adjust gear mesh, and then clamping into position to prevent further movement.

The motor mount is machined from Swiss 7075 T6 and is 2mm wider for improved durability.

Radio Plate

The receiver box is mounted on the same graphite plate as the servo. The graphite plate is connected to the chassis by an aluminum holder and stand that can be easily removed from chassis for cleaning and maintenance. You need only to remove 3 screws from the bottom of the chassis to remove the servo and receiver box.
