RC XRAY was founded by Les and Ben Porter to be an online RC store dedicated to selling XRAY cars, kits and parts. We are located in Charlotte, North Carolina. In the initial phase of RC XRAY, we will only offer XRAY cars and kits on the website. We will sell parts but they will be available only by customer request. In later phases, we do plan on offering official XRAY replacement and hop-up parts through our online store. We also expect to sell hop-up parts for XRAY cars from third party manufacturers. Here is the how RC XRAY came to be.

Quick Facts

Here are a few random and maybe interesting facts about us.

  • Our first RC cars were Tamiya Grasshoppers and that was about 20 years ago.
  • Les Porter's second RC car was the Kyosho Ultima and he still has it.
  • The Team Associated RC10 was Ben Porter's second RC car.
  • Our first XRAY cars were the 1/18th scale electric M18 and they got way too fast when we added LiPo batteries and brushless motors.

  • Ben's first nitro car was an on-road touring car, the Team Associated TC3.
  • Ben's first 1/8th scale off-road nitro buggy was the OFNA Hyper 7. It felt like a chainsaw in your hand.
