XRAY T4 2015 Spec 1/10 Competition Electric Touring Car (Kit)

HobbyKing is now introducing the new XRAY T4 2015 Spec 1/10 Competition Electric Touring Car kit.

The T4 is the world’s most popular electric touring car thanks to ongoing development of the platform; year after year we bring you the best handling & performing touring car. The T4 is designed by racers FOR racers. No matter if you race in Modified or Stock classes at local, regional, national or even World Championship level, the T4 takes you to the Winners Circle.

T4 platform development is quite unique, as there is a wide range of skilled team drivers from all around the world having a direct influence on the development of the platform. All ideas collected from the team are analyzed, then are tested in prototype stage by the team under all track & racing conditions around the world to ensure that in the end only the best improvements are integrated into the new version of the car.

Features:
• ARS System
The kit includes both standard and Active Rear Suspension (ARS™) suspension components. ARS suspension consists of redesigned arms, graphite 0° C-hubs for optimal flex characteristics, hard steering blocks, ARS post (mounted to the chassis) and ARS linkage which connects the post with the steering block. The angle of ARS linkage changes the toe-in characteristics of the rear tires when rolling; when the car is pressed the toe-in can either increase or decrease.
• Chassis
The T4 ’15 features a narrower chassis design for different track conditions. The chassis is 86mm wide (3mm narrower compared to the T4 ’14) for improved traction and steering characteristics. The 2.2mm thick chassis is CNC-machined from premium-grade graphite material, with pre-drilled holes for optional parts such as chassis weights, graphite motor guard, graphite adjustable battery holder, and battery strap. Weight distribution and balance characteristics have been optimized, allowing the weight to be moved as close as possible to the chassis centerline in order to maintain proper balance.
• Motor Mount
The redesigned motor mount is a part of the left layshaft bulkhead to eliminate unwanted tweak. The system consists of a plate which is connected with the motor mount by a button-head screw which is more tweak-free compared to a countersunk screw.
• Aluminum Bulkheads
The T4'15 features the smallest and lightest bulkheads ever, which are positioned more towards the chassis centerline to provide maximum traction, steering, and balance.
• Central Servo Mount
XRAY’s self-developed central servo mount is now standard in the T4'15. This mount allows the servo to be mounted to the chassis without the servo coming into contact with the chassis plate to eliminate tweak and increase overall traction.
• Upper Clamps
To complement the super-narrow bulkheads, the upper bulkhead clamps were also redesigned and an optimized roll center position was added.
• Anti-roll Bar System
The redesigned anti-roll bar system is mounted to the front & rear bulkheads via bearings from outside for extra-smooth movement and for quick & easy changes and adjustment. The roll bar turns in ball-bearings for maximum precision and free movement.
• Bumper Upper Holder
Redesigned composite bumper upper holder brace helps to reduce chassis breakage in serious crashes.
• Adjustable Steering
Smart chassis flex adjustment via optional graphite steering plate which can be mounted with an additional aluminum stand.
• XRAY Solid Axle
The T4 features a unique lightweight composite XRAY Front Solid Axle to reduce rotating mass. The Front Solid Axle has a very stiff and ultra-light weight structure that was achieved by molding the entire solid axle from XRAY’s own self-formulated composite material.
