XRAY Model Racing Cars, otherwise known as XRAY was founded by Slovak engineer Juraj Hudy in 2000. Hudy had been making his own model racing cars, mostly gas driven, at home in his garage since the early 1970s. In 1989, after the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, Juraj Hudy introduced a top secret, self developed formula to produce the highest quality parts from spring steel. This material was marketed through his company Hudy and was used in Serpent radio controlled gas cars. In 2000, Hudy established the XRAY Model Racing Cars company to develop high tech, high quality RC model racing cars. Initially beginning in electric onroad racing, the company now also produces both electric and gas offroad cars in a variety of scales.

Famous quotes containing the words model, racing and/or cars:
“Your home is regarded as a model home, your life as a model life. But all this splendor, and you along with it ... it’s just as though it were built upon a shifting quagmire. A moment may come, a word can be spoken, and both you and all this splendor will collapse.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“I think that cars today are almost the exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
