Xray T3 , T4 performance differences

[Ninjagordy]

hi guys,

just wondering if you noticed much difference between the 2 cars performance/handling wise.

I run a TRF416 at the minute and i'm forever breaking it.... possibly due to lack of talent but it just seems to break too easy!!

Im going to give an xray a go as there widely regarded as one of , if not THE strongest touring cars out there... obviosly T3's are less expensive as T4's ;-)

all views appreciated!!

cheers

Gordy!

You hit a wall at the rights speed you will break anything. However I've owned and still own several Xray cars and your right. It's a tank! I have tons of spares that I haven't had to replace. The build quality is second to none!

With the new 15' on the market I'm sure you can get a 14' for cheap!

I was always told that the xrays are like tanks but ive found that my t4 13 nearly every race ive broken something . Where my serpent or old cyclone I never broke a thing .

cheers guys...... funny that, i had an old yokomo sd ssg that got serious abuse and hardly ever broke....

thanks for the input! ;-)

The only chassis I didn't bother with was the T4 13 as I didn't think the LCG aspect was worth it from the T3 12, basically I had a box of spares going back to a T2 007 that I gave away just kept a front wishbone, Knuckle and rear upright that fitted each chassis as I moved on, I replaced the front right knuckle on both the T2 009 and T3 12 at the same track on the same apex by bad driving but other than that a bearing seized in a rear upright that ruined it oh and a belt after someone hit the back of my car at ludicrous speed!! All in £30 for 7 years of parts, boring really!!!

haha.... nice one mate.... thats not boring.... thats ideal!!

so, Im very close to grabbing a T3 down to the fact its about half the price i can get a T4 for. is there much in it from experience between the T3 andT4 performance/handling wise?

Now try the T3 with the RACEBERRY shocks and lower T4 shocks. I have that on my VTA car and it killer!

I'll keep that in mind!

after a really quick adjustment for carpet (and I mean really quick , sat my TRF down and made it as close to it as I could from looking at it!) after 2 quali runs, I Qualified pole in the A Final , not at all bad with this being literally the 2nd time i ran the car. only managed 3 laps in the final and a very light collision caused one of the steering arm screws to strip out. i suspect that it was already stripped as i couple of the other screws were spinning in the other hubs.

not to worry, i managed 36 laps and my previous best in quali was 35 with the TRF so all in all a good purchase im thinking!!

cheers lads!
