Chassis

All-new narrower graphite chassis is CNC-machined from 2.2mm thick premium-grade graphite material, and is 5mm narrower than the previous T4.

New chassis is specifically designed for all kinds of track conditions, and gives increased traction, steering, stability, and improved cornering speed.

Chassis features pre-drilled holes for optional parts such as chassis weights, graphite motor guard, graphite adjustable battery holder, and battery strap.

Chassis designed specifically for brushless motors and LiPo batteries; composite battery holders prevent batteries from moving in crashes

New re-designed graphite top deck gives increased in-corner steering and rear traction

Top deck allows installation of optional aluminum stand which changes the car’s flex characteristics

Bulkheads have been strategically placed closer to the center of the chassis to improve steering, traction, and stability

New layshaft bulkheads allow for the removal of top deck attachment screws (front or rear or both) as the bearing is hold by the layshaft bulkhead

Upper bulkhead clamps designed for the new super-narrow placement of the bulkheads

Independent front and rear diff height adjustment and belt tension adjustment in both front and rear bulkheads

3mm-thick super-low profile shock towers lower the CG and improve stability

Unique super-light and low-profile motor mount is separate from layshaft bulkheads for lowered CG, tweak-free motor mounting, and moves the motor 3mm closer to the centerline of the chassis

Motor mount bulkhead is compatible with all standard brushless motors

Centered layshaft and split bulkheads provide enhanced balance due to optimum weight distribution of the motor towards centerline, giving quicker left-right transitions

Suspension

All-new aluminum suspension holders featuring Integrated Suspension Settings (ISS) allow super fast and easy suspension geometry setting

Suspension holders allow more durable mounting of the suspension arms, so the suspension geometry of the car does not change even after hard crashes

The new mounting system allows for very free arm movement, which gives higher traction and smoother driving and improved steering

Suspension holder system allows suspension arms to be mounted independently from diff bulkheads allowing for elongated chassis flex to generate more traction

Independent suspension holders allow for more precise and fine set-up adjustments via different bushings

Rear suspension aluminum holders feature integrated toe-in

C-hubs available optionally in standard caster angles (2°, 4°, 6°); available in two hardnesses (M – medium, H – hard)

Hard front steering blocks increase steering response, decrease front tire overheating in high-traction conditions

Small, robust steering blocks made from special proprietary composite material, available optionally in two hardnesses (M – medium, H - hard), and feature 2 Ackermann positions

New rear uprights give increased stability; available optionally in two hardnesses (M – medium, H – hard)

Rear uprights feature integrated 0° toe-in to prevent suspension geometry changes in serious crashes

All-new arms feature innovative SFA^™ (Suspension Flex Adjustment, innovative and unique graphite stiffeners that allow for super-quick suspension flex adjustment to easily adjust the traction of the car in various track conditions

Suspension arms feature integrated anti-roll bar mounts; rear arms feature 3 different anti-roll bar mounts for super-fine adjustment of the rear anti-roll bar

front 1.4mm & rear 1.2mm anti-roll bar wires included

Easily adjustable wheel offset using optional shims or optional offset wheel hubs (-0.75mm, +0.75mm, +1.5mm)

Drivetrain

Lightweight middle layshaft CNC-machined made from aircraft aluminum

84T 48P spur gear – extra-hard material, wobble-free design

38/20T (1.9) internal gearing for efficient, high-performance drivetrain

Premium-quality, reinforced drive belts

C-hubs with large openings for quick and easy assembly/disassembly of the CVDs; prevents collision of CVD with Chub in serious crashes (compatible with the ECS drive shafts)

Super-light drive axles have 35% less rotating mass

Super-lightweight Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum rear drive shafts (50mm), hard-anodized, color-coated and laser-engraved, 38% lighter than standard drive shafts

Rebuildable front CVD drive shafts made from world-renowned, self-developed HUDY Spring Steel^™; world’s tiniest yet most durable drive shafts are hand ground for maximum precision. Recommended for use in front for increased durability

Super-lightweight wheel axles manufactured from premium HUDY Spring Steel^™

7075 T6 aluminum wheel hubs

Complete set of high-speed, blue-sealed ball-bearings are degreased and lightly oiled for maximum efficiency, individually controlled, selected, and inspected

Aluminum self-locking wheel nuts

Differentials

Composite hubs for differentials to fit super narrow bulkheads

Super-smooth, super-light maintenance-free composite gear differential

Adjustable gear differential stiffness via oil viscosity

Super-light composite front Solid Axle with XRAY’s own smart quick-change outdrive system for easy outdrive exchange; no servicing or replacement of drive shaft blades needed, translates into reduced servicing costs

Steering

Servo mounting system for improved balance and for elimination of unwanted tweak

Servo mount allows the servo to be suspended near the chassis centerline, providing better balance while eliminating tweak and allowing for additional traction

Steering is isolated from chassis flex, ensuring tweak-independent steering for super-precise and consistent steering characteristics

All-new steering plate provides increased steering into the corner, making the car more stable and easier to drive in chicanes

Shocks

Super-Low Profile (SLP) aluminum shocks for lowered CG and improved stability

SLP aluminum shocks have been shortened by more than 7mm to provide maximum stability under all track conditions, while reducing traction roll under high-traction conditions

Shock shafts are specially hardened for maximum strength

Foam inserts for perfect shock rebound

Super Short Shock Springs (4S) developed & designed for the new SLP shocks

C2.5 springs included in the kit are shortened to fit new SLP shocks and the spring rates have been optimized to provide maximum steering and traction

XRAY self-developed and manufactured 4S springs are manually selected for maximum precision, equal length, and equal damping characteristics

New race-tested and tuned shock positions

Bumper & Body Mounts

Front body mounts shortened to lower CG

Front upper and lower composite bumper made from specially formulated material to withstand hard impacts

Super low-profile foam bumper made from lightweight, high-resilience foam

Assembly, Set-up & Support

Premium 3D full-color Instruction Manual & supplementary sheets
