Pivot ball style toe blocks would help with weight.

And someone said the T4 is slow?

I have a feeling that as the Team gets more time to dial in the T4 / get used to it..the results will improve even further.

who are you and why aren't you racing at 5280 raceway in denver. it says your in colorado but i haven't seen anyone with a t4 at the track yet.

I would like to see someone do a weight comparison out of curiosity.

I had Tamiya shocks on mine which weigh more I'd imagine then the new shorter xray ones.

It's all irrelevant as I can easy make weight, with a 310g battery my car is coming in at 1352g, balance also seems pretty good, probably need 5g on motor side to be perfect.

It is lighter :-) Look at the pictures.

This is my T4 and T3 2011 with a 2012 chassis and topdeck on the scale. I forgot to mount the battery posts on the T4, which is about 2g I guess.

Won ETS, Won Snowbirds, Won TITC, Won Roar Nationals, Won Pre worlds, ut failed at the worlds and the first round of ETS, But apparently you say it's never in the Top 3?

Really? I could go back through ETS and I guarantee it was in the top 3 at Most of them.

My ride weighed in at 1270 grams race ready with Speed 6 Lw body. Did not really need to use 38 aluscrews on there...
Although i can place the additional wight closer to the ground lowering the CG even further.

Ok it might undermine 1000 hour of testing and R&D by Team Xray drivers but Team Xray would buy me a new chassis if I damage it?................err, no!

PS the new bumper weighs 3grms, usless as a bumper but makes a great fake moustache for the kids
