I will be racing on carpet and I want to have your opinion on which is a better car the Xray T1 Factory Team or the HPI pro 4. I know many of you will say, but rustler753 they are the same...its the driver that what counts bla bla bla...and the avereage driver say
corny example:
OMFG!!!!1111 dude get a tamiya or
stay with the TC3 it rules!!!1111......
but I want a pros opinion, whos racing for a while and actually has wins under his/her belt. Why is the (xray or hpi ) better? What makes it so special? which has a better drive train? Which is lighter? Better design? More balanced? Which chassis has the least amount of flex? Which drives better and haddles with precision? Which one you don't have to mod much or even at all to get it to perform (unlike the TC3 which needs modding like a mofo). I know you are professionals and I want your professional opinion, because we all have our preference and I want to hear them . Speak up ! Let your voices be heard!!
peace out

T1R Raycer
Hi everyone
I have been running a TC3 for about 2 years now and am getting tired of some of it's weak spots(I'm not a very good driver). I was looking at the T1R Raycer, is it decent or should I just save my money until I can afford the T1R FK?

Let me know if you are interested in a T1R, I might be able to hook you up with a good condition used one. It'll be cool, I can help you out with the setup.
Like all the guys been saying, the T1R is a good and durable car.
Give me a call and we can chat.

i'm too lazy to do a search... 
can anyone tell me what's the major different between a T1-Racer and a T1 FT ? i can only see plastic vs graphite chassis and 4wd vs oneway....
does the FT worth $120+ extra? I care more about the performance than the look of graphite...

At least you're honest. 
The T1R has the plastic tub chassis and the long arm suspension from the orignal Evo2. The Factory car has the short arm suspension, lightened bulkheads, lightened drive hexes, drive shafts, lightened layshaft, new shock tower in the rear, low ratio pulleys (don't know if the T1R has those) and narrow belts front and rear (again, don't know if they T1R has them.)
In my opinion, yes, the Factory car is worth the price difference.

i would appreciate some feedback on the following question.
when assembling the rear arms, they do not move up and down freely with the 2mm toe in clip, what can i do to resolve this issue? with the clip in it pushes the back out and thats when it binds, with the clip out it moves up and down freely. has anyone else had these problems if so what was the answer.
thanx in advance
