XRAY - Model racing cars

evening all, back after a 5 year break and have just got myself a new xray t3 11.

really impressed with the quality, best car i have built in 23 years of racing! well done!!

i've done the servo mod, anything else you guys would recommend, plannng on running it on carpet only with rubbers (sorex 28).

cheers, keep up the good work!!

what motor you've got?
do you have set up tools?

good question on motor, got a speedpassion 13.5t in my mi4 with a hw xtreme stock esc, got myself another hw for the xray but havent decided on motor (still 13.5t though) have heard good thing anou the orca range? any suggestions?

have a full setup station.

on what track will you race?

indoors on carpet, ardent raceway will be my most regular. medium sized 12.8 second laps. need more grunt out of the corner, sp is probably too smooth indoors?

i did not ride sp 13.5r on indor carpet track
lets start with original set up
and then "play" with your set up
read whole set up book
its useful:)

already have!

so its great!

If your new to Xray then ..

I would suggest putting a setscrew into the unused hole in your rear uprights (where the camber links mounts) if you have not done so already. This will beef up the one weak point in the car (IMO).

I'm not sure if the newer kits come with the CVD pins that have flat spots (running update?), if not get yourself some of those or use a tool to grind a flat spot into the pin yourself. With the standard shafts, they never come out.

Being from the US, the DUO 3 based motors are great for spec classes (13.5, 17.5) with lots of torque. I don't know why but I don't hear that much about them from across the pond.

For ardent raceway, a popular setup is usually the Tekin and Nosram PureEvo / LRP X12 13.5T setup.
Mines quite a monster out of the corners, GM Speedo/Motor Combo seem to give a bit more of a kick up the bum onto the straight though.
Then again im running moderate settings for the infield and quite a lump of turbo for the straight.

Im usually over at Ardent a couple meets a month, so may bump into you.
