Hi to everyone! my name is TS and i'm came back to RC cars after a couple of years of inactivity! My T4 has been delivered today and I' ve started the assembly this afternoon!
First impression it's the high quality of graphite and plastic, but for drive impressions I' ve have to wait!

If anyone have some tips or tricks for the assembly regarding this car I really appreciate!
I live in Italy and my operative base it' s Segrate so if someone live near me or want to make a visit at this track we can find there for a day of test together! :wink:

Everyone seems to buy the optional graphite bumper brace to prevent damage to the chassis in a crash;

Welcome to Xray :wink:

Ehi, nice to know you and thanks for your reply. Here in Italy this part it's sold in a kit called XRAY T4 Italia which contains also the ECS shaft for front wheels!
I think in my next order I will insert this piece, thank you for the tip! :mrgreen:

Hello,

maybe the following parts for service:

Especially in the front the CVDs should be checked regularly for pin wear as you can't see it when the CVDs are assembled.
If you do so there will be almost no wear on the couplers and the driveshafts on the T4.

These caps need to be replaced "regularly", specially when using powerful motors and/or in high grip conditions.

CA glue edges of chassis to prevent delamination. Make sure everything is moving freely. Don't overfill the gear differential. Use a sufficient amount of graphite grease on drive shaft joints.

That's a good list to work off. What would you say are the better the linear or progressive spring sets
