XRAY T2R Pro
#46
I still have my T2R... I raced it on carpet and on pavement and now use it as my VTA car. I bought it from Stormer when it came out for $199. IMO it is still a great car and very competetive. I have also had two Cyclone S cars and the T2R is way better IMO. I think they should just bring back the original T2R... and from what I can tell on the new "Pro", $300 seems pretty high... think I will still continue to run my original T2R.

My biggest gripe about Xray is the price of parts. They charge way to much and from what I've seen are the most expensive of all the touring cars made today. There is no reason for what they charge.
The car is very well designed and I love the cars I have, I just wish RC America would realize this is a hobby with the majority of club racers being middle class.

Truly I can't say how much cheaper or more expensive parts you have in America, but they have to be about the same.

wow looking at the number of answers in this thread this car must be xays least popular car yet, wonder how much interest it would have if the price was more as it should be, $200
for $300, dont matter how great the quality is its greatly overpriced.. if they lower it to 200, i would buy one for sure!!

RC Huligan,
I've owned a T2R which was great car for the price as it was very close to the T2. I can tell you just looking at the specs the T2R Pro is not worth $300 street price compared to the competition. For that matter XRay is getting out of control on the price of there cars. $500 for the 09' is a joke. Not enough changed from the 08' to 09' to justify a $100 price increase.
I can tell you know I will never buy an 09' at this price. I'll stay with m7 007's forever with the price increases that occurring.

Keep in mind none of the detractors have even seen the car yet and lots of them passed judgment before more information was released. At this point, the best information available is the specifications.

Its a shame. But at 300$ it wont land in the hands of to many new racers. I just think with cars like the CycloneS wich yes dont come with the same standard features out of the box are alot more attractive to first time racers....
IF only this thing could hit the streets at the 200+ mark..
Its a shame about the threaded rods in place of turnbuckles.
with a TC5 as low as 290$US, its hard to recomend the xray sport... I understand its the currency and other factors but the reality is street prices sell cars

Yes parts aren't cheap. But Xray doesn't sell toys as HB/HPI, Tamiya etc. sells, so they have to be little more expensive to earn something and be able to have team drivers, run factory, engineering etc.
Truly I can't say how much cheaper or more expensive parts you have in America, but they have to be about the same.

I am interested to know what exactly is an XRAY, it's not a toy, parts are NOT cheap, so what is it then a Bentley?

It is disappointing to see the price of a Budget car at $300.00 .... Without even turnbuckles... Sure it has nice aluminum bulkheads, and top of the line geometry., but come on, if Associated can get the cost of the TC5 down to around this price ( with Carbon ), then Xray sure could make a carbonless car for at least 50 less...
Seems to me Xray comes out with a budget racer when they are trying to get rid of parts... They need to unload all those Silver bulkheads they have... If I am not correct they released the previos two "R" cars just prior to changing the chassis layout on thier top of the line cars.. Not really a critisism, more of an observation.

as said you can go out and get a tc5 for $300 (on rc10.com you can get a original tc5 WITH a qc3 speeso and reedy stock motor for 299!!)
there are soo many touringcars on the market today so to mark up a sport level car to 300 will only harm xray, you dont makes any money if you cant sell the product, pretty simple. ofcourse you can excuse the differences between different currencys (spelling?) but in the end i think xray would earn more from making less profit on this car by lowering the price
i`m going for the tc5 for now.. until xrays prices gets lower, after all, its just toys! (dont get me wrong on the last one)
