Aluminum Backbone.
The most significant change to the latest NT1 platform is the all-new aluminum backbone. The main frame and backbone of the car consists of high-precision aluminum bulkheads and aluminum suspension holders that are mounted to the aluminum chassis.All bulkhead parts are CNC-machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum and have been designed to provide the lightest and strongest possible support framework for the car with maximum flex characteristics to increase the traction.
The bulkheads are anodized in a distinctive orange color. XRAY’s legendary attention to detail is noticeable in all the precisely chamfered edges.
Chassis.
The NT1 chassis has been redesigned to accommodate the new aluminum bulkheds and the suspension holders. The chassis has enhanced performance in the corners and provides great stability. Overall, the chassis is very narrow to increase chassis flex and thus generate more traction and steering. The narrow chassis also prevents chassis contact in corners and helps to eliminate the feel of the car ‘stopping‘ in mid corner.
The lightweight chassis is CNC-machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum and is strategically machined in low-stress areas to make it as light as possible without adversely affecting strength or rigidity. The area under the engine features air-flow cut-outs for extra cooling airflow.

The outer edges of the chassis have been beveled and screw holes have been countersunk to make a smooth lower surface. The chassis can accommodate graphite reinforcement inserts or additional balancing weights (front and rear) to tune chassis stiffness, balance, and CG.
Bulkheads.
One of the most significant changes to the latest NT1 platform is the all-new aluminum bulkheads. With changing rules going to spec, large size, hard tires, the traditional composite bulkheads were changed for aluminum. The new aluminum bulkheads provide optimal stiffness and flex characteristics for improved steering characteristics even with hard spec tires.Aluminum bulkheads were designed to retain the well-proven geometry of NT1. Mounting positions on the chassis were placed in order to achieve the best possible flex characteristics for maximum traction and steering.
The super-lightweight bulkheads have a very clean and lightweight design to give the lowest weight and CG, making the NT1 easy to service while still giving easy access to all parts.

Middle Shaft Holder.
The newly-redesigned aluminum front middle shaft holder has reduced weight and has easier access to the front belt and pulley for easier maintenance. The smarter design also allows for quick & easy front belt changes. The muffler mount is also incorporated into the new holder. The holder is CNC-machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum to be lightweight and super strong.Upper Clamps.
The all-new upper clamps were designed to fit the new aluminum bulkheads. The rear upper clamps hold the rear shock tower as well as the graphite-roll center bridge. For extra roll center adjustment possibilities, the graphite-roll center bridge can be removed and the rear linkage can be mounted directly to the upper clamps which improves cornering speed and steering in high-traction conditions.
Both the front & rear upper clamps feature integrated belt-tension adjustment using adjustable bearing eccentric holders, eliminating the need for a separate belt tensioner. All ball-bearings turn in composite hubs to reduce friction and improve drivetrain efficiency.

Front Upper Arm Holders.
The all-new front upper arm holders were designed to work with the new aluminum bulkheads. Each upper front arm holder is mounted to the bulkhead via a single screw and to the radio plate with only two screws. In this way, the front suspension has optimised flex for improved in-corner steering and better steering response. One of the 2 mounting screws from the radio plate may be removed for even more flex as a part of the Multi-Flex™ system.
The front upper arm holders were designed in such a way to allow the upper arms to be moved more forward, which reduces caster angle and improves in-corner steering and steering response. With the new design of the front upper arm holders, a greater range of caster adjustment is available.

Front Upper Arm.
The front upper arm was redesigned to work with the new front upper arm holder. With the 1- piece design of the suspension holder, the arm includes a new mounting hole for a set screw that secures the arm to the pivot pin to ensure the arm will not fall out. With the new mounting of the front upper arm, the upper eccentric bushings were redesigned to be straight through.Steering Blocks.
The steering blocks were redesigned for use with a graphite Ackermann plate which allows greater Ackermann and bump-steer adjustment range. The graphite Ackermann plate is mounted to the steering block and features 3 different Ackermann positions. The plate is also mounted lower compared to previous steering block design, which allows the steering linkage to be moved lower to gain more bumpsteer (giving increased steering response and improved in-corner steering). Bump steer can be easily changed by adding or removing shims.The steering blocks also accommodate the mounting of optional graphite Aero discs for improved steering.
The tiny yet tough steering blocks are molded from a special composite mixture for maximum strength. Thanks to perfect molding, bearings fit into the steering block without any extra play and therefore give maximum stability.
Rear Uprights.
The compact rear uprights are small in size but thanks to the special composite mixture used, they are also very strong. Thanks to perfect molding, bearings fit into the rear uprights without any extra play and therefore give maximum stability.The rear uprights feature two positions for mounting the upper roll center linkage, to allow changes to the roll center position.
The new rear uprights accommodate the mounting of optional graphite Aero discs for improved stability and traction.
Radio Plate.
The radio plate was redesigned to accommodate the new aluminum bulkheads. A brand new and very useful new feature is the front Multi-Flex™ adjustment via radio plate bushing in the servo saver area. When the bushing is used, the fixed setting is activated; when the bushing is removed, the screw is directly mounted on the servo saver post and the whole front suspension has increased flex.
The fixed setting is recommended when there is sufficient in-corner steering. To increase the in-corner steering, the flex setting can be easily adjusted.
The radio plate allows mounting of the center body mount, and there is more space around the fuel tank to allow more movement.

The radio plate allows mounting of the center body mount, and there is more space around the fuel tank to allow more movement.
The radio plate is an integral part of Multi-Flex™ setting, and allows for very quick & easy flex adjustment. Bushings on the back of the radio plate allow it to be attached to the mounts either rigidly or with an allowance for flex. The ‘rigidly fixed’ setting is recommended for high traction conditions. The ‘flex’ setting is recommended for low-traction tracks to generate more traction.
The muffler mount is not attached to the radio plate any more, so that eliminates the negative influence of flex. With the new design, the radio plate flexes equally to both sides which improves consistency and, as it allows more flex in the front, also provides more in-corner steering.

Rear Stiffener Link.
The rear stiffener link was designed to enhance the flex characteristics around the engine area. The link can be mounted on the right side 2-speed bulkhead and right-side composite radio plate mount. The link provides optimized flex characteristics and can be easily removed when extra steering needed.Shock Towers.
Both front & rear shock towers were redesigned to fit the new aluminum bulkheads. The well-proven shock mounting positions were retained. Machined from premium-grade 2.5mm (front) and 3.0mm (rear) graphite, the shock towers are small & lightweight.Roll-Center Bridge.
The roll-center bridge was redesigned to fit the new aluminum bulkheads and features six roll center positions for the rear upper linkage. The roll center positions are identical to previous positions. Machined from premium-grade 2.5mm graphite, the bridge is small & lightweight.Rear Anti-Roll Bar System.
Anti-roll bars are manufactured from special spring steel material and are included to stabilize the car at both front and rear. The all-new anti-roll bar system is mounted to the front & rear bulkheads via ball-bearings from inside for extra-smooth movement and quick & easy changes and adjustment. The anti-roll bar turns in ball-bearings for maximum precision and free movement.Front
Whether you race at small, technical tracks or large, fast tracks, you have a choice of either a wire-type or blade-type front anti-roll bar. Both are included in the kit.Recommended for use at smaller, more technical tracks when the car needs to quickly change direction and transfer weight from side-to-side. The thickness of each anti-roll bar is laser-engraved for easy identification. Anti-roll bar wires of different thickness are optionally available for fine-tuning. The kit includes a 2.6mm wire front anti-roll bar.
Recommended for use at long, fast tracks when the car needs maximum cornering speed. Diving in corners is reduced, and the car will maintain maximum speed. The hand-ground front anti-roll bar blades are manufactured from HUDY Spring Steel™ to ensure the highest possible lifespan. The anti-roll bars are easily adjusted using a small 1.5mm hex wrench. The kit includes 1mm thick blade anti-roll bar assembly, with softer 0.7mm thick blades optionally available.
