I always like XRAY products... Their quality and design is just spectacular... To me, XRAY cars are just like Aston Martin in the automotive world... Sleek and sexy... This is the latest incarnation of the famous T2 platform... This chassis is call T2 009... The most significant difference between T2 009 and all the other models before it lies in the colour of the anodized aluminum parts... All previous XRAY products uses silver aluminum whereas for T2 009, XRAY opted for striking orange...

TRF801XT truggy is Tamiya first competitive truggy... The TRF801XT is a 1/8 scale competition level assembly race truck kit designed and tested in Southern California... The highly efficient drive system comes from the optimised position of the front and rear propeller shafts... The drive line is virtually straight which offers the most efficient drive line possible in its class... The chassis has plenty of adjustability to fine tune it for the most demanding of race tracks across the globe...
