That's unbelievable !!
I understand better now why some official drivers pointed out that the electronic installation is a nightmare...
Xray would lie? Well, that's a first... Damn, let's see RCKnight reaction on this one ahahah !

I don't understand the trend to go so narrow. The HB TCX car is still narrow and yet wide enough to not have the servo hanging off the chassis. Xray's reason for mounting it the way they do makes sense. I've been wishing Futaba would make a micro receiver for some time now. I've sent them more than a few requests for one. lol

Xray need to turn the servo position 90° like almost all the other cars!! That will help everyone to isntall all the electronic within 5 min flat and the motor will finally breathe some fresh air, not the air from the speedo heatsink !

All my stuff fits fine. I am running a LRP speedo a fullsize KoPropo servo that barely hangs off and a KoPropo rx. It close but fits nice.
Its not Xray's fault Futaba make a big rx. Paul runs Futaba and his stuff fits fine.
Thanks Drew

I own a T3 almost a year and very much happy with it, but some of my rc buddies have switched to New T3's. Besides Xray upgraded the Narrow Chassis/ Flex Type Upper Deck and Steering Linkage, what are the advantage compared to the previous T3 010?
Question: Are this new steering linkage design travels more then the previous T3 010?
Concern: Would it break during hard crashed impact on the newly designed Upper Deck?

Same travel as the steering blocks didn't change, only the steering feel changes.
About the top deck, it looks better than the T3'10 as it's wider in the motor area. The T3'10 top deck always used to break there. I'd feel more secure with the T3'11 one.

Hi Stefan,
A few Questions. Is the space between the servo and motor the same as the old car? It looks a lot less from the pictures of other guys cars. Hope its not the case
Also, What Bump steer have you tried? Looking at the kit setup its 2mm, but pics from ETS suggest the guys arent using any, or 1mm.
Thanks,
Antoni

sorry for the delay in responding, have been trackside for 12 + hours running.
Yes electric space is quite tight. The manual says to get more room to cut the lugs off one side of your servo and use 1 post and then double sided tape.
I have managed to fit mine however without doing this with the receiver on its side. Speed passion Gt2.0 and Sanwa 2.4 receiver. My Capacitors are placed behind the ESC between ESC and belt.
From running the car in the UK we have noticed the car has alot more front flex than the old T3. So it took us a while to get to grips with a setup. But now we have really got the car going well and its soo nice to drive. The car is super consistent for all 5 minutes.
Back to back tests with the T3'011 and std T3 showed me an improvement of 2 tenths a lap. and around 5 - 6 seconds faster in 5 minutes. I tested at Ardent Raceway in the UK which is a permanent track so it was a fair test for both cars.
Also watch out for the motor screws that can touch and restrict top deck flex. i believe its in the manual on how to avoid it. It caught me out with the SP motor (a)
