Chassis.
Both the graphite and aluminum chassis have an all-new design and shape. The chassis was redesigned with a significantly narrower shape and repositioned side link mounting system that ensures that the chassis will minimize drag in high speed corners, improving the steering response and increasing high-speed steering.
The chassis includes an updated groove for the new battery backstop for a more secure battery mounting and adjustment in the most frequently-used cross-chassis position.

Side Link Mounting System.
The all-new chassis is so narrow that a completely new design of the side link mounting system had to be introduced. The new side mounting system features aluminum stands and graphite holders that have two different positions for pod link mounting.

Front Suspension Brace.
The all-new front suspension brace mounts across the lower suspension arms to help sharpen the steering response, improving the response to driver input upon entry in high speed corners. If the very direct feel is too much for certain track conditions or driver preferences, the brace can be removed for a more forgiving handling characteristic.

Shock Position.
The all-new front and rear graphite holders for the center shock absorber have new mounting positions, allowing for it to be mounted further back By selecting a longer or shorter shock, the damping and steering characteristics can be changed. The plates allow the shock to be moved front & back to alter how the car enters & exits corners.
Frontward positions:
• Makes the car smoother
• More stable on-power
• Less sensitive to bumps

Rearward positions:
• Increases responsiveness
• Increases on-power steering

Long Shock:
• Shock built WITH adaptor (extension)
• Improves drivability over bumps
• Improves on-power traction

Short Shock:
• ​Shock built WITHOUT adaptor
• Improves steering response
• Quicker direction changes

Servo Holders.
The all-new servo holders have an additional hole to fit micro servos such as Sanwa SRG-HR and HS, while the standard positions still accommodate the standard 1/12 servo dimensions.

Suspension Concept.
To utilize the performance potential in various traction conditions, there are two different suspension concepts used on the X12.
The EU Edition includes a standard composite suspension that makes the car predictable and generates more traction.
The US Edition features unique graphite suspension arms that reduces torsional flex of the arms in the corners of very-high traction tracks, making the car more reactive and also stays flatter during cornering.

Suspension.
The front upper arm is now moulded from a specially formulated graphite composite mixture that helps to increase steering and make the car more predictable.
The XRAY self-designed graphite front suspension was specially designed for high-traction US-style tracks. With the stiffer front, the car has more cornering speed while being easier to drive and more consistent in high-traction conditions.
The graphite arm is mounted on aluminum posts which are mounted to the chassis. The holder for the composite front upper arm mount is mounted on the graphite arm as well.
The graphite front suspension was successfully used by the US team to win the US National Championship title.

Pivot Brace.
The all-new lighter pod holder is moulded from a special composite graphite mixture that resists flex in high traction conditions making the car easier to drive. The material used also contributes to a freer movement of the center pivot ball during cornering.
Tweak-free lower pivot brace features nut groove where the nuts that connect chassis with brace will find the proper position by themselves so there is no need to reset the position for free movement when the pod plate is mounted.
The pivot ball is considerably lower and smaller than other pan-cars, thus reducing the weight. The pivot ball has an internal thread so there is no need for a locking nut, saving more weight but also allowing for greater side movement of the whole rear pod.

Battery Backstops.
The all-new graphite backstop for the cross-chassis battery alignment alternative is stronger than the previous composite brace for a more secure battery retention.
The all-new rear link brace & battery backstop allows for a wider range of battery placement adjustment.
The brace includes two holes into which the adjustable battery backstop is inserted. The battery backstop has 4 positions which allow the batteries to be moved more forward. The distance between each position is 2mm, so in total the battery can be moved up to 6mm more forward.
