The 48th installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column he goes into detail about the development and testing that went in to producing the new T3 chassis.
Due to advancements in electronics in recent years, we have changed with the times and moved from brushed to brushless motors, and from NiMH to LiPo batteries. The T3 was designed for both LiPo and NiMH at its debut; some racers still used NiMH batteries, so we didn’t want the T3 to be LiPo only because many customers could be disappointed. However, LiPo popularity has increased dramatically and after 1 year almost nobody uses “classic, old-school NiMH batteries.” It was time to go LiPo only.

Xray have released this optional brass engine mount for the NT1 that provides solid engine mounting and easy adjustment. The Monoblock Engine Mount is recommended for all conditions, providing a stiffer design than the standard single engine mounts but is still a bit more flexible than the Multi-Flex 1-Piece Engine Mounting System. The engine area of the car and the area between engine and 2-speed is reinforced but the flex of the chassis is still available. This reinforced area of the chassis between the engine and 2-speed gears reduces the chance of spur gear breakage or stripping. CNC-machined from premium brass material. Precision machined with highest tolerances using premium fully-automatic German CNC-machines. Ultra-strong construction provides very long life and durability in even the most extreme racing conditions. The weight of the monoblock from brass material is 53.5g and is heavier by 26g then standard monoblock. Thanks to this extra weight, car has more incorner steering and not so much extra weight is needed.
