XRAY has long been viewed as the highest-quality touring car available since it entered the RC car scene in 2000. Now with a long and distinguished history of racing achievements and groundbreaking, award-winning innovations, XRAY is proud to offer the T3 … A top-quality “no-compromise” engineering marvel designed to put you in the winners circle.

Revolution, evolution, optimization… those are the key terms that describe the T1 and T2 platforms brought in the last decade to the racing world and the new T3 carries forward all the heritage and racing pedigree to again raise the standard ever higher. XRAY Research & Development along with the Factory Team devoted themselves to extensive testing, all in the effort to bring the consumer the latest evolution: The new T3 platform.

With fast-paced rule changes in the electric touring car class, the main focus of the T3 was to design the car for brushless motors and especially for LiPo technology… to take on what the world can offer and outperform all others under any racing conditions or rules. Take your pick — asphalt, carpet, rubber or foam tires, NiMH or high-performance LiPo batteries, cutting-edge brushed or brushless motors — the T3 can handle them all and still dominate the competition in the process. No extras needed… just a desire to win.

T3 EU Rubber-spec vs. US Foam-spec Editions
Whether you are racing with foam or rubber tires on carpet or asphalt… there is a T3 for you. You can choose between the EU and US Editions and have a car that is finely tuned for each specific racing environment. Despite both cars being built from the same platform, each edition of the car has very small details that enable you to gain an edge in competitive performance.

LiPo Ready
The new T3 was designed to work seamlessly with new technology and therefore is designed for high-performance LiPo batteries. However, NiMH batteries users need not despair as the T3 may be used with NiMH batteries as well.

XRAY Alternative Driveline Configuration™
The XRAY Alternative Driveline Configuration™ is unique design that allows you to quickly & easily flip over the front and rear differentials and transmission belt positions. This allows you to move the electronics and batteries more to the centerline or outside of the car as necessary for the different alternative configurations of electronics weight balance.

NiMH batteries are heavier than LiPo batteries and therefore should be placed more toward the car centerline with electronics placed more outward. In this case the front belt should be placed on the left side and the rear belt on the right side to allow the batteries to be placed more towards the car centerline.

LiPo batteries are lighter and therefore should be placed more toward the outside of the car with the electronics placed toward the car centerline. In this case the front belt should be placed on the right side and the rear belt on the left side, to allow the electronics to be placed more towards the car centerline.

With this smart methodology, only 30g of additional weight (depending on electronics used) is required to balance the left and right sides equally.

Drivetrain
With the current trend of high development in the electric motor and battery industries, the drivetrain has been optimized to work efficiently with all most popular motors — stock, modified, and brushless — with all types of batteries used for racing. As such the T3 comes with 38T diff pulleys and large 20T center layshaft pulleys.

The drivetrain features optimized diffs specifically used for foam and rubber spec racing. For rubber-tire racing the Front Solid Axle is used, while for foam-tire racing an adjustable ball differential is used at both front and rear.

T2 compatibility
The T3 platform is based on highly-popular T2 platform, and so the majority of spare parts and option parts are fully compatible. As such, in most cases XRAY drivers can use most of their T2 spare parts on the new T3 platform.

Ultra-lightweight Aluminum Bulkheads
The aluminum bulkheads are all new on the T3 platform. Ultra-lightweight bulkheads were designed to get better traction, steering, and balance. Bulkheads are 2mm higher to allow LiPo batteries to fit perfectly into the car. All bulkhead parts are CNC-machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum and are strategically machined to provide the lightest possible support framework for the car. Thanks to the ultra-low platform it was possible to create the smallest, and lightest bulkheads ever. The bulkheads are anodized in a distinctive orange color. (Note: Color may vary slightly between products.) XRAY’s legendary attention to detail is noticeable in all the precisely chamfered edges.

XRAY’s attention to detail and perfection is evident with their TQM (Total Quality Management) approach. Not only are all bulkheads inspected during the production process, but they are also mounted to the chassis to verify that the car’s “backbone” has been perfectly manufactured. So when you open the box, you will see and appreciate the beauty.

Independent Suspension Mounting
The T3 features a new system for mounting the lower suspension holders independently from the bulkheads and mounted directly to the chassis. Arms are connected to the chassis by separate a bulkhead that gives increased chassis flex and thus increases traction and makes the car easier to drive. Rear aluminum lower suspension holders are moved 0.75mm more toward the center in order to make rear track-width narrower to provide more traction. The holders are pre-angled to give integrated toe-in.

Motor Mount Bulkhead
The motor mount was redesigned to move the motor 3mm toward the car centerline for better balance, and is connected to the chassis on the centerline for better balance and tweak.

XRAY Multi-Flex Technology™
One of the more legendary and certainly one of the most innovative set-up features in touring car designs in the last few years is without a doubt the invention and introduction of XRAY Multi-Flex Technology™ which was brought forward into the new T3 platform. This smart system allows the setting of different flex characteristics for different track conditions. This extremely effective set-up feature has been updated for the T3 platform to allow for easier flex adjustments by using the multiple positions on the top deck only. No matter whether you drive on asphalt or carpet, using rubber or foam tires, thanks to Multi-Flex Technology™ you can set the flex – soft, medium, stiff – or anywhere in between to best suit your track conditions.
