Juraj, first off thank you for taking time to take part in this exclusive Q&A with NeoBuggy, tell us a little a bit about ‘FX’ ?
FX Engines is a private company located in Europe in Trencin, Slovakia. Owned and operated by the Hudy family, the FX Engine company was established in 2006 to develop, design and manufacture RC car engines. FX engines are pure high competition racing engines for model racing cars. Designed with the purpose of bringing you to the winners circle and engineered with a focus on absolute perfection.
Why the name ‘FX’, what does it mean, where does it come from ?
The name and the idea is linked to the level of specialisation on this project – custom machines, unique processes, specially trained staff and selected materials, and tooling just for this project – all made ‘specially‘ for the engines. The name comes out of this philosophy – at times as if by magic the Special Effects would appear, and in the movies shortened to ‘FX‘, we thought this name suited this new venture perfectly – making special effects – FX.
Xray is proud to announce the release of their new machined aluminium upper shock caps for the XB4 shock absorbers providing increased durability and extended life time. Machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium and additionally black coated, a set of shims are also included for fast and comfortable up travel & down travel adjustment.
JConcepts is pleased to offer a replacement bulkhead centre cap for the famous B44.2 buggy kit. The machined aluminium component, anodized in blue, is a handy replacement for the stock plastic unit and is a drop-on to the centre slipper assembly. With the motor mount and bulkhead as one assembly in the B44 vehicle, temperatures peak out and transfer through the entire centre assembly allowing the new cap to act with heat-sink capability. The stout design with external ribbing has increased strength over the plastic unit, is symmetrical in design and adds a higher level of detail and aesthetic appeal to an already championship vehicle. This part has been already used in competition by Ryan Maifield, winning events such as the Cactus Classic and JConcepts Indoor National Series events.
