I thank XRAY for their belief in me, and the support they have given me. I am very proud to bring home these victories for our team.

Alexander Hagberg,
European Champion 2014, 2015 & 2016

When I won the first EC title in Scandiano, Italy in 2014, I was happy to get acknowledgement for the hard work that we had put into the development of the X12 platform. What made me even more proud was to repeat this success and to bring home the European Champion title back in 2015 and again at the recent 2016 European Championship that was held in my home court, the Hudy Racing Arena. Step by step we have refined this car, and as we come closer to perfection, the new updates certainly contribute to that vision.

I am happy to present to you the all-new X12 – a result of the dedication and hard work of the entire XRAY team to bring performance and reliability to a pinnacle. The new X12 showcases all our latest developments, refinements, and experiences wrapped up in a back-to-back European Championship winning platform. Let the new X12 take you to the front of the pack and the top of the podium!

Legendary XRAY premium design, workmanship & material quality and unmatched attention to the finest details result in a state of perfection achieved by well thought-out refinements to create a car that is easy to drive, work on, and adjust.

From unique HUDY Spring Steel™, through the world’s strongest Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum, along with XRAY’s own secret composite mixtures, to the premium high grade graphite materials… everything is exclusive and premium on the X12.

Using premium European exclusive materials crafted by XRAY’s engineering artists using the state of the art German, Italian, and Swiss CNC machines, the X12 is a blend of only the world’s finest.

• All-new chassis
• All-new rear pod
• All-new rear bulkheads
• All-new rear wheel hub
• All-new graphite brace
• All-new side tubes
• All-new rear link brace
• All-new rear pod upper plate
• All-new steering blocks
• All-new front ball joints

The all-new chassis was redesigned to improve cornering speed and in-corner steering, and to increase traction of the car and help eliminate chassis roll.

The narrower rear part of the chassis (as well as the narrower section under the batteries) prevents the chassis from contacting the track while the car rolls, which helps to increase traction and improve cornering speed.

The new chassis includes a new two-position option for pod link mounting. The first outer position is standard, while the new inner position allows for angled mounting of the pod links to improve in-corner steering.

The chassis fits the fully-adjustable servo mount, and the front chassis cutouts were reintroduced from the previous chassis to increase chassis flex to allow the car to generate more traction. Additional chassis features include holes for composite battery backstops to eliminate battery movement when inline battery alignment is used.

CNC-machined from custom-manufactured 2.5mm high-grade graphite material with a specially-designed compound for carpet racing and asphalt racing, the X12 handles perfectly on indoor or outdoor tracks, on either carpet or asphalt.

The all-new rear pod plate features a narrower design in rear, allowing the bulkheads to be moved closer together. The motor position has been offset more to the right for improved weight balance, especially when using heavier brushless motors.

The position of the rear left bulkhead was moved more than ~5mm to the right to improve weight balance, as well as to shorten the pod to make it lighter.

The rear suspension is mounted on a premium-quality graphite pod plate that works independently of the chassis. The updated design of the new pod plate works with the new aluminum rear bulkheads, as well as widening the rear pod links for more stability.

The alu bulkheads are all-new in design and concept. The right bulkhead has an all-new motor mount design with multiple motor mounting positions. The new upper motor mount position prevents the motor from moving in serious crashes, and it adds another option to easily mount different types of motors.

Both rear alu bulkheads were redesigned to fit the new rear graphite brace.

The tiny rear bulkheads (including the upper bulkhead clamps) are significantly lower and lighter, CNC-machined from premium extra-hard Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum and additionally black-coated for long life and stylish look.

The open-top design of the rear pod left-side bulkhead provides super-easy motor top access. The rear pod accommodates all motors.

The all-new rear graphite brace replaces the previous aluminum brace. The graphite brace significantly reduces tweak of the rear pod. To keep the lowest possible CG, the brace is positioned in the lowest possible position.

Machined from premium graphite, the brace is flexible yet rigid enough to withstand serious crashes.

The rear right wheel hub has a new narrower design to accommodate the new motor mount position, as well as having an increased rear track-width adjustment range. The narrower design results in lower rotating weight.

The aluminum rear hubs are machined from lightweight aircraft aluminum, specially lightened and black-coated for stylish look. The rear left aluminum wheel hub features a center-balanced clamping mount system, ensuring secure mounting while eliminating vibration and runout.

The all-new rear link brace features a narrower design that accommodates the new shorter side tubes. The new brace helps to move the weight more into the chassis centerline, and the narrower design gives lower weight.

The graphite rear link brace holds the side tubes as well as the side springs and body posts, and works as a backstop for the battery pack.

The all-new narrower side tubes to narrow the car for improved handling and to reduce weight.

Lateral damping side tubes provide ultra-smooth side damping, making the car easier to drive and easier to work on. The outer aluminum tube and inner Delrin® tube operate ultra-smoothly.

The all-new rear link pod upper plate has a new narrow design to accommodate the new narrower chassis design.

Rear link pod upper plate includes a hole so an optional side shock can be mounted. The advantage of using the side shock is that it provides more traction in low-to-medium traction conditions.

Excess play in the steering block and front upper ball joints was removed to improve steering response.

Strong, simple, yet refined front suspension made from strong, lightweight, self-developed composite material. Reactive caster settings available using 2.5°, 5.0° or 7.5° eccentric bushings. Tiny yet strong HUDY Spring Steel™ upper pivot balls ensure smooth, bind-free operation, while composite lower pivot balls allow the front suspension to operate even more smoothly. Fast & easy adjustment of front caster, track-width, bump steer, roll center and ride height via included shims and clips.

Kingpins.
Super-smooth, hardened steel kingpins provide the foundation for the front suspension.

Wheel Axles.
Ultra-precise wheel axles CNC-machined from premium HUDY Spring Steel™ are additionally hardened and hand ground for precision fitment.

Adjustable Turnbuckles.
Front upper 3mm adjustable HUDY Spring Steel™ camber turnbuckles are lightweight yet can withstand hard impacts, with precision threading to ensure fine camber adjustment.
Steering linkages are made from adjustable 4mm turnbuckles manufactured from lightweight aluminum.

Reactive caster is easily adjustable by using easy-to-change eccentric bushings of 2.5°, 5.0° or 7.5° (included). Reactive caster is used to adjust the amount of caster change when the front end of the car is compressing (diving) or decompressing (rising).

The lower suspension arms feature smart eccentric aluminum inserts which allow quick & easy changing and setting up of track-width depending on track conditions. Optional aluminum 0.5mm and 1.0mm eccentrics are used to set the track-width either narrower or wider.

The front suspension uses ride height adjustment shims for very quick, precise, and hassle-free ride height adjustment depending on track conditions. The set of 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6mm ride height adjustment shims are included for fine tuning.

The upper arm shims allow for moving the front upper arm mount together with the upper arm more out from the lower arm, thus generating less camber gain and making the car easier to drive. With more shims, less camber gain is generated, reducing initial steering and giving less “twitchiness.”

3mm shims are included for the steering block to make the car easier to drive under high-traction conditions.

Unique & innovative fully-adjustable servo mount allows easy adjustment of the servo position. The servo is attached to independent mounts that are inserted in a groove on the front upper plate. Depending on the size of your servo, you can easily install and adjust the servo and its position to the center of the chassis. By changing the orientation of the servo, you can adjust the weight balance of the car.

The floating servo does not touch the chassis, so it eliminates unwanted tweak and also allows you to adjust any servo to the centerline of the chassis. Smart and easy.

The optimal position of the servo depends on the weight of the electronics. If the car is heavier on the right side, a left-side servo position is used… and vice versa.

Unique & innovative center shock position adjustment allows using various positions on the front upper graphite plate to adjust the shock position and the length of the shock. By using a longer or shorter shock, the damping and steering characteristics can be changed.

Long Shock:
• Shock built WITH adaptor (extension)
• Front mount is FRONTWARD - 2 positions to choose
• Improves drivability over bumps, improves on-power traction

Short Shock:
• Shock built WITHOUT adaptor
• Front mount is REARWARD - 2 positions to choose
• Improves steering response, quicker directions changes

All composite parts are manufactured by XRAY using premium self-developed composite mixtures which guarantee sufficient flex of the suspension parts, while being hard enough to withstand hard impacts.

High-precision, HUDY Spring Steel™ upper pivot balls and composite lower pivot balls ensure smooth & precise movement of the front suspension.

The quick adjustable Ackermann positions can be adjusted by adding/removing shims between the servo and servo mounting posts. The composite shims included in the kit come in three different sizes: 3x6x1, 3x6x2, 3x6x3. Ackermann influences the steering of the car, and therefore it is important to make it an adjustable feature.

Tiny yet robust servo saver protects the servo from impact damage. Easy Ackermann adjustment is made via shims mounted below steering block pivot balls.

XRAY micro shock has a scaled-down design from its “big brother” counterpart in XRAY’s successful touring car platform. The fully-adjustable shock features an aluminum shock body that is hard-anodized for ultra durability. The fine-threaded shock body allows for quick and easy shock spring preload adjustment. Tiny, thin shock membrane gives smooth dampening characteristics, and a super-soft silicone shock O-ring gives super-smooth operation while preventing oil leakage. The ultra-finely finished shock shaft with precise-molded composite shock piston ensures optimum shock oil flow and smooth shock absorber action. A simple yet smart shock construction allows for quick and easy shock-length adjustment for rear pod downstop adjustment.

The shock adaptor allows for quick & easy changes to the shock position. Using the adaptor allows for the new forward shock mounting position, and when the adaptor is removed the standard rearward position is used.

The number of holes in shock piston were changed from 2 to 1 for improved on-power steering.

The front center shock mount was completely redesigned for the X12 platform. The entire platform was moved from the side to the absolute center of the chassis. The rigid centrally-mounted shock mount prevents tweak and significantly improves side-to-side stability.

As part of the chassis design, weight balance was thoroughly redesigned and improved on the X12 platform.

The position of the battery placement in the chassis has a significant influence on weight balance adjustment. To offer instant and comfortable weight balance adjustment - depending on various track conditions - the battery placement can be quickly changed from inline to cross-chassis. Smart and handy - an all-new unique feature and system.

Included composite battery backstops eliminate battery movement when the inline alignment battery configuration is used.

The conventional rear pod is adjustable via pivot-ball links, providing extremely easy assembly and tuning while being very effective and giving the highest competitive performance.

The alu bulkheads allow for very quick & easy ride height adjustment. No more hassle to dismount the car to change the rear ride height! The included ride height shims are inserted between the bulkhead and upper bulkhead clamp to alter the ride height. Smart & easy.

The new method for ride height adjustment allows ultra-fine adjustment by 0.25mm increments, in comparison to the previous 0.5mm increments using eccentric bushings.

The composite upper & lower pivot brace were redesigned to allow the pivot ball be to lowered by 0.5mm so as to lower the roll center of the car. Lower roll center provides more rear traction and stabilizes the rear of the car.

The pivot ball is smaller to save the weight, which is very important in 1/12 class. The pivot ball has an internal thread so the locking nut mounted on the top is not used any more. This saves weight but also allows for greater side movement of the whole rear POD.

Side springs are placed directly on the chassis for smooth and precise movement.

The ultra-strong lightweight steel axle is used to provide maximum reliability even in the serious crashes. The rear differential features high-grade precision carbide balls for spur gear, hardened and precision-ground D-steel shims, and premium carbide axial thrust-bearing.

Precision-molded spur gear are made from XRAY's exclusive composite material, ensuring true running, super-quiet operation, and robustness for handling powerful motors. A range of optional spur gears for fine tuning is available.

A tiny lightweight antenna mount secures the lightweight yet strong molded fiberglass rollover antenna.

Composite front chassis protectors provide protection where the car needs it most… in the front corners of chassis where damage may occur from racing impacts.

Robust body posts with fully-adjustable body holders; optional super-fine +1 or +2mm body backstops available optionally for even more super-fine body height adjustment.

HUDY Exclusive Silicone Oils are manufactured in Europe and each batch is laboratory tested and calibrated to ensure the highest possible consistency and quality from batch to batch. Based on the industry-standard cSt rating, the new line of oils will be easy to identify, adjust, and feel.

When following any set-up sheets by XRAY or XRAY team drivers, you can be sure that the oils you will get for your car are exactly same as those used by the factory racing team, thus ensuring very exacting set-ups and handling.
