|
| New Double Steering System |
| The new double steering system is ALL NEW for XRAY electric touring cars. The double steering system is supported by 6 ball bearings and runs on aluminum stands. Ackermann is easily adjusted by inserting shims between the steering plate and steering rods. The new steering system features a lower mounting position for steering linkage which makes the car handle easier going into corners. Handling is easily adjusted for more aggression by inserting a shim between the steering block and steering rods. |
|

|
| Horizontal Servo Position |
| The smart top desk and double steering system design allows the servo to be placed in a horizontal orientation along the chassis. This allows for a more centered placement of electronics in the car, along with having the servo saver in the center of the chassis. |
|
(click to enlarge) |
|
| Servo Saver |
| The T3â™11 features a unique servo saver position ; in the absolute center of the chassis. The servo saver consists of 3 springs which makes the servo saver strong enough to prevent extreme steering deflection from impacts, while at the same time being flexible enough to prevent servo damage in hard crashes. The servo saver has interchangable bushings to fit most popular servos on the market. |
|
(click to enlarge) |
|
| Flex-free Steering |
| The T3â™11 steering is independent of chassis flex due to the fixed mounting of the alu stands, which are independent from chassis flex. This creates flex-free steering which is always very precise and keeps the car under total control all the time. |
|
(click to enlarge) |
|
| Extra Steering Stands |
| To increase the stiffness of the car, additional (included) alu stands can be mounted between the steering stands and the top deck. This makes the car stiffer and results in less turn-in steering, while at the same time makes the car easier to drive in high-grip conditions. |
|
(click to enlarge) |
|
| New Top Deck |
| The top deck has been completely redesigned to fit the new LiPo chassis design and the new dual steering system. The shape of the top deck has been specifically designed to achieve maximum steering, traction, and cornering speed. The top deck is machined from high-grade 2.0mm graphite and features XRAY Multi-Flex Technology™ adjustment positions. An optional belt tensioner can be mounted to the top deck. |
|

|
| Drivetrain |
| With the current trend of high development in the electric motor and battery industries, the drivetrain has been optimized to work efficiently with all most popular motors â” stock, modified, and brushless. As such the T3 comes with 38T diff pulleys and large 20T center layshaft pulleys. |
|
(click to enlarge) |
|
| T2 & T3 compatibility |
| The T3â™11 is based on the T3 platform and also T2 platform, and so the majority of spare parts and option parts are fully compatible. As such, in most cases XRAY drivers can use most of their T2 or T3 spare parts and option parts on the new T3â™11. |

|
| Drive Shaft Lengths |
When it comes to high-competition design, the transfer of power to the wheels is extremely important and as such the T3â™11 uses optimum drive shaft lengths.
For rubber-tire racing using larger-diameter rubber tires, longer 52mm drive shafts are used to allow the drive shafts to be positioned more towards the car centerline in the front diff/solid axle outdrives. This generates more overall traction and makes the car easier to drive on low-traction tracks.
For foam-tire racing using smaller-diameter foam tires, optional 50mm drive shafts are used as the foam tires have generally higher traction than rubber tires and as such the shorter drive shafts give optimum torque transfer to the wheels.
Drive shafts can be exchanged; meaning that 52mm shafts can be used for foam-tire racing or 50mm shafts can be used for rubber-tires racing. The drive shafts can be combined as well, so 52mm shafts can be used in front while 50mm shafts can be used in the rear (and vice-versa) depending on track conditions. |

|
| HUDY Spring Steel™ CVDs |
T3 constant velocity drives (CVDs) are exclusively manufactured from special world-renowned, top-secret, self-developed HUDY Spring Steel™. The T3 drive shafts are the worldâ s tiniest yet most durable drive shafts used in electric touring cars.
The drive shafts are strategically lightened ⓠsee the hollow end of the dog bone ⓠto guarantee the lowest possible weight without compromising strength or durability. These specially-lightened drive shafts can only be manufactured from special HUDY Spring Steel™ which was developed for extreme racing conditions. The drive shafts have been additionally hand-ground for maximum precision and to provide true rotation and unbinding drivetrain operation. |
|

|
| Lightweight Composite XRAY Solid Axle |
Rotating mass is one of the most significant influences on the performance of an RC racecar. The T3â™11 features a unique lightweight composite XRAY Front Solid Axle. The Front Solid Axle has a very stiff structure and ultra-light weight that was achieved by molding the entire solid axle from XRAYâ™s own self-formulated composite material.
Outdrives are fully exchangeable which allows very easy and comfortable servicing, while the unique drive shaft connection â” eliminating the former drive shaft blades â” enables direct power transfer to the axle and eliminates play between the drive shaft and outdrives, improving steering precision and increasing overall steering. |

|
| Aluminum XRAY Ball Differential |
The T3â 11 features a high-competition, super-smooth Aluminum Ball Differential. Manufactured from the premium Swiss 7075 T6 and additionally hard anodized to increase the lifespan of the outdrives. The differential is externally adjustable and comes factory pre-assembled.
XRAYâ™s innovative and smart Labyrinth Dust Cover™ diff protection system has been carried over from previous T1/T2 platforms where it has been very successfully used for many years. The special internal labyrinth design of the diff covers prevents dirt, debris, and carpet fibers from getting into the differential, thus reducing servicing and ensuring long life.
The XRAY Aluminum Ball Differential features carbide balls and a high-quality carbide thrust-bearing for ultra-smooth running. |

|
| Ultra-lightweight Aluminum Bulkheads |
Ultra-lightweight bulkheads were designed to get maximum traction, steering, and balance. All bulkhead parts are CNC-machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum and are strategically machined to provide the lightest possible support framework for the car. Thanks to the ultra-low platform it was possible to create the smallest, and lightest bulkheads ever. The bulkheads are anodized in a distinctive orange color. (Note: Color may vary slightly between products.) XRAYâ™s legendary attention to detail is noticeable in all the precisely chamfered edges.
XRAYâ™s attention to detail and perfection is evident with their TQM (Total Quality Management) approach. Not only are all bulkheads inspected during the production process, but they are also mounted to the chassis to verify that the carâ™s âśbackboneâť has been perfectly manufactured. So when you open the box, you will see and appreciate the beauty. |
|

|
| Independent Suspension Mounting |
| The T3 platform features a new system for mounting the lower suspension holders independently from the bulkheads and mounted directly to the chassis. Arms are connected to the chassis by separate a bulkhead that gives increased chassis flex and thus increases traction and makes the car easier to drive. Rear aluminum lower suspension holders are moved 0.75mm more toward the center in order to make rear track-width narrower to provide more traction. The holders are pre-angled to give integrated toe-in. |
|

|
| Motor Mount Bulkhead |
| The motor mount is connected to the chassis on the centerline for better balance and tweak. |
|
(click to enlarge) |
|
| Split Bulkhead Design |
| The rear bulkheads feature a split design, allowing the rear suspension to be mounted to separate bulkheads while the center layshaft sits on its own, super-narrow bulkheads which are positioned maximum to the center of the chassis. The split design of the bulkheads also enables super-easy access to front and rear differentials and the middle layshaft. |

|
| XRAY Multi-Flex Technology™ |
| One of the more legendary and certainly one of the most innovative set-up features in touring car designs in the last few years is without a doubt the invention and introduction of XRAY Multi-Flex Technology™ which was brought forward into the T3 platform. This smart system allows the setting of different flex characteristics for different track conditions. This extremely effective set-up feature has been updated for the T3 platform to allow for easier flex adjustments by using the multiple positions on the top deck only. No matter whether you drive on asphalt or carpet thanks to Multi-Flex Technology™ you can set the flex ⓠsoft, soft-medium, medium-stiff, stiff ⓠor anywhere in between to best suit your track conditions. |

|
| Aluminum Turnbuckles |
| Aluminum adjustable turnbuckles used in the T3 are CNC-machined from 7075 T6 material with a stylish black coating. These turnbuckles are used for front and rear upright linkages as well as for the servo saver. The aluminum turnbuckles are lighter than steel to help decrease the overall weight of the car. |
|
(click to enlarge) |
|
| Suspension Holders |
The T3 uses the same smart suspension holders as the T2 platform. The aluminum inserts in the composite holders guarantee that geometry and setup will not change and will be retained even after hard crashes.
There are 3 different suspension composite holders that enable easy roll center setup. The standard suspension holder gives a 0mm roll center, while two eccentric suspension holders raise or lower the roll center by 0.75mm.
The independent suspension holders of the T3 allow for even more precise roll center adjustment. The suspension holders â” which are mounted on separate bulkheads â” may be shimmed outward from the bulkheads (using 0.1â“0.5mm shims) for precise roll center positioning.
The smart XRAY geometry uses variable-thickness shims between the bulkheads and suspension holders to enable easy rear toe-in adjustment. However, you can easily remove the shims which will narrow the suspension, and then add wheel offset shims to reclaim track-width. |

|
| Centrally-positioned Layshaft |
| The middle layshaft is strategically positioned towards the center of the chassis on separate, super-narrow middle layshaft bulkheads positioned along the chassis centerline. The middle drive pulleys are positioned along side of the main spur gear and as such the drivetrain energy is transmitted from the motor through the centrally-positioned spur gear to both middle layshaft pulleys⦠ensuring maximum balance of the car. |
|
(click to enlarge) |
|
| Alu Middle Layshaft |
| The aluminum layshaft is strategically CNC-machined to minimize rotating weight without compromising strength or integrity. The hollow layshaft is perfectly round with zero run out, eliminating drivetrain vibration and producing a positive balance. Composite pulleys key solidly to the layshaft. |

| Premium HUDY Greases |
The T3 includes premium HUDY Graphite and Diff greases.
HUDY Graphite Grease is a high-performance, advanced-technology semi-fluid lubricant which incorporates both extreme pressure additives and finely-dispersed graphite for load carrying. It is intended primarily for the lubrication of rotating parts and loaded gears. In addition to providing outstanding load carrying, it is formulated to have excellent adhesion and resistance to "fling-off" under extreme conditions. The grease reduces wear and increase the parts life.
HUDY Diff Grease is a high-performance, model racing car general-purpose silicone based grease, formulated to provide extra protection against wear, corrosion, and water. HUDY Diff Grease is recommended for most types of rotating and moving parts in any RC car. This silicone grease is especially well-suited for use in ball differentials, axial (thrust) bearings, and in any other ball-bearings that require grease. Suggested for use in any heavy-duty application where high pressures or loads are present. This grease provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion while resisting water wash-out, making it particularly suitable for racing in wet conditions. The silicone grease operates within a large temperature spectrum and will work in all extreme conditions up to and over 100°C.

| Optional Battery Holder |
Being a high-competition racing car, the T3 uses tape to hold the batteries to the chassis to reduce unnecessary weight. HUDY Fibre-Reinforced Tape #107870 is recommended by the Team XRAY factory racing team for high-competition racing.
The chassis also features holes for an optional graphite battery strap for 6-cell battery pack (#306163) which features the XRAY Smart Battery Holder System™. A captured aluminum wheel enables you to easily secure the battery strap without clips. Easy, smart, quick.
The race-oriented XRAY battery holder was designed to ensure that it won't affect chassis stiffness even if you tighten the capture wheel excessively. |
