Sticker on the box says diffs are made out of Swiss 7075 aluminum, but diffs are made by Xray. Like Paul said, all parts are produced at the factory, they even bought their own hard-coating line because they weren't happy with outside vendor that was doing it for them before. I had an opportunity to visit the place couple of years ago, Martin took me around the factory, all I can say it was a jaw-dropping experience. These guys are obsessed with quality, and invested good amount of resources to produce everything in house so they don't have to rely on any outside suppliers...
but yes rest is made in Slovakia.Last edited by GK; 10-20-2008 at 11:22 AM.

In my opinion Xray should reintroduce T2R again because it was awesome for that price.

I install air-conditioners for a living and some of the Chinese domestic AC units look like some well known brands but the thing that makes me laugh is they are so bad that they only just can be called an air-con
. Rattle like all the srews are loose, make the lights dim when they turn on and die after about two years and of course have no spares! That xray knockoff looks like an xray but I bet it wont work at all and your $200 goes to the tip, just like a cheap AC.

For decades the Western automotive industry has failed to sue or even stop copies of various automobiles, so a model car company has no chance. Xray copied Corally for the T1 anyway lol

There are ways to report companies that are producing copies like this. Here's a link to the US site and there are similar government departments in Europe (and the rest of the world).

It's not always easy but if the company doing the copies is producing any part on the car with a Xray logo or using anything proprietary they're hozed.

On this one he didn't have the nerve of putting M18 on it.

Yes, because your not looking beyond your pocket book to the HUMAN BEING on the other side of that equation. Oh don't get me wrong, we are all guilty. But when you purposely choose a copy because its cheaper without knowing anything about the factories involved. Your acting in a very shameful manner more than most because you choose to. Go stand in a corner now.

not only is this seller selling counterfeit r/c's but if you look at the neg. on his feedback he apears to be selling counterfeit firearms gear.Just look at the items the buyer has on his feedback,90% are for munitions equipment.scopes lazer sights etc.

Apparently, Xray are ''investigating'' the car.
I.e, sharpening their laywer's teeth for war.

I just contacted the seller and asked since the car came with the hudy spring steel drive shafts and an authenticity certificate, and xray grease and accessories if it was an xray car. cant wait to see what his answer is!

If anyone's interested I still have a NIB T2R that I'll sell for 200 shipped
Still a better car than that cheap copy.
And I thought the same thing about XRay's T1 and the Corally C4, I think Hudy and Serpent had something to do with the design. When a friend of mine had a C4 the plastic parts would have the Serpent emblem on them with Corally packaging.
