Xray T4 '14

[Lee24h]

So its coming what peoples thoughts?

[JohnM]

Doesn't look like it'll handle bumps very well

Looks fantastic. I ran the T4 last year and it was easily the best TC I've owned and driven.

The new version should be lighter, easier to build and adjust and less likely to have the suspension blocks move after a crash. And a lot more adjustments available for chassis and suspension flex. Definitely a winner!

Yes im glad the mounts are now on the chassis im forever losing shims when the mounts move also i like the carbon wishbone inserts

I have now got one and seems great so far

soo what does everyone think about the new t4'14 then ? i used to have a t3'12 when they first came out and loved it ( but since sold it ) and have recently bought a t3'11 cheap for a bit of indoor racing and thats pretty good too ..

may be abliged to get a t4'14 , soo would like to hear any thoughts ??

cheers shaun

If your only going to do a bit of racing not worth it

Just finished building my T4'14 this week. Best TC I've ever built, everything just drops together. New suspension is super smooth with no slop or binding, much easier to get it perfect than the old system.

New car is lighter too by around 15g.

Jus got mine starting the build looking forward to it. My first xray. Any hints or tips on the build? Been told when building diff leave out the rubber ring jus use the paper gaskets. Will be running 2k oil in it is this about right?

Depends on the surface & motor, if it is really low grip 2K should be OK, otherwise most of the UK drivers are using 3K or 4K.
Make sure you get the bumper brace, it is not in the kit, but should be, without it a hard hit at the front can snap the chassis.

You will love the car it is fantastic

And check the turnbuckle from the servo saver doesn't hit the top deck, it can be very close. You can lower the servo in the mounts a bit if it's too close.
