Welcome to the XRAY T4'16 Thread & Wikipost! Here you will find some useful info, tips and tricks as well as setups that are used by several team drivers. This wikipost is a work in progress and should continue to develop over time.

4-Bulkheads & Drivetrain
5-Driveshaft (ECS & CVD)

New Graphite Hubs:
Xray have recently released some additional Graphite hubs for the T4 lineup. The 4° Graphite C-Hub has been out for some time and is known to improve steering on entry, and in general makes the car turn better. This has been the go-to c-hub on asphalt for many on the Xray team, though it is not needed on high bite carpet. The Graphite rear hub tends to make the car more stable, especially on corner entry. We are still working on gathering input on the new Graphite steering block, but for the moment feel that it should improve steering response. All Graphite parts are approximately 1g lighter than the Hard or Medium options.

Option Parts to consider:
XRA301196 T4 Graphite Upper Deck 1.6mm V2
 XRA301226 Foam Bumper – Hard - highly recommend
XRA302165 Composite Front Suspension Arm 2-Hole – Hard

XRA302803 1.3mm Front Anti-Roll Bar
XRA303169 Composite Rear Suspension Arm 1-Hole – Graphite
XRA303802 1.2mm Rear Anti-Roll Bar
XRA305137 Steel Solid Axle Driveshaft Adapters - HUDY Spring Steel - highly recommend
XRA305242 Composite Drive Shaft Replacement Cap 3.5mm – Orange – Strong (QTY 4)
XRA305351 Aluminum Wheel Hub – Offset “-0.75mm” – Black (QTY 2)
XRA306191 T4 Graphite + Aluminum Fully Adjustable Battery Holder
XRA308264 4S Spring-Set Progressive C=2.5-2.8 (QTY 2)
XRA308276 4S Spring-Set C=2.7 (QTY 2)
XRA308286 4S Spring-Set C=2.6 (QTY 2)

XRA302384 Composite C-Hub Left – 4* - Graphite (ECS)
XRA308039 Aluminum Progressive Shock System – Set (QTY 2)

Specific to Carpet:

XRA302375 Composite C-Hub Right – 6* - Hard ***Modification may be required if they don't have the "ECS" stamp.
XRA302376 Composite C-Hub Left – 6* - Hard ***Modification may be required if they don't have the "ECS" stamp.

Just received my kit and good portion of options I ordered (some on back order!)

Looking forward to the build. Even the plastic bags feel higher quality (lols!) than what I'm used to 😀

For the seasoned T4 builders - anything to watch out for ??

Only thing that springs to mind is not to bother with the thin O-ring in the diff.
It's very difficult not to accidentaly pinch it while assembling and then it leaks.
The team drivers don't bother either. Once the paper gasket has soaked some oil into it etc it seals fine on its own.

Does anyone know what alu. servoarm fits Savox? Hudy does not fit according to the site (25t like Futaba). Radtec maybe?
Also how long should it be, C-C.

Yeah I know, don't understand why it says "does not fit Savox" on the Hudy site?? Seems like 16mm C-C is good.

No they're not as i shamfer the bottoms so the links don't catch. Its because i run a hpi scooby type c shell and with the body posts mounted the other way they come up in the rear wing mounts.

It appears that this kit comes with 48p spur gear? My VBC was 64p... Is that correct? I have both 48p and 64p pinions, so don't really care, just want to confirm. Either really matter? Will be running asphalt most of the time more than likely.

Will be running 13.5 blinky, should I get a 92/96T 64p (or 78T 48P) spur up front?

Sorry, new to the XRay gang...
