Someone Please Help.
Need Help for setup. I got a Use Xray on road car. The problem of the car is it drift all the time when I put foam tires on it. It will do better on the rubber tire. I had been change 2 used set of time and one set of band new foam time. It seen to be rear tire spin faster then the front. I have no clue on it. I even adjust the position on the shock tower all the way to the first hole; it still drives like a drift car. Anyone got an idea what’s going on. Thanks for who reply it.

Thanks Help
It would really help to see a pic of the car so we know which T1 car you have; but first things first. Are you sure that it has the correct parts on the car? Have you checked things like the diffs, pullys, shocks against the manual? There are several different T1 cars and not all the parts are universal on the different models.
When I put in a rubber tire on it. It will run alot better. I don't know why. I know Xray car has two diff type, US foam and UK rubber. Is it any matter? Thanks for your help.

Ok the FK05 is a very nice car, I still run mine in our sedan oval class here and in fact won yesterday. The car was not sold in two different versions of the car back then like the US and EU versions of today. But there were three different chassis and top plate thickness's and that was what determined which tire you ran. The thinner 2 and 2.5mm chassis are the ones used on asphalt; mostly the 2mm. A thicker 3mm was used for foam and carpet applications along with additional standoffs. Just baised on what your saying it sounds like you have one of the thinner chassis which is not suited to carpet/foam use. Looking back I did'nt see if you were running on carpet or asphalt?

I put the servo, esc, rx, and motor on the left and an SMC LIPO on the right. It took a little bit of doing but it works good. There are pics way back in this thread of it.

I'm glad u decided to keep and race your xray. as far as options u dont need any. (even tho i still have the alloy rear A-arms on mine
) after 8 years...7 tracks...6 in the US...1 in the bahamas...and God knows HOW many parking lot meets, my T1 is finally side lined. one of my pillow-ball steering hub snapped and it sent the car into a concrete curb in the blink of an eye! the damage: both drivesharts, both steering knuckles, a tie rod and a blown front diff. if i cant find parts, this may be the end.

and if your going to pick on someone dont make it a 14 year old s**t.
The original T1 also did not come with adjustable eccentric diffs.
Let me know if you have any more questions on it or you need parts for it

Serpent supplied the shocks for the original T1's...I think the Evo2 was the first XRay car to come with XRay shocks. As far as I know the original design is Serpent's (plastic bodies and externally adjustable dampening), just better executed in the manufacturing process by XRay.

That's is one thing I didn't know about the T1. Maybe there was a running change as I have had all the older cars and the shocks did change but I thought they were all Xrays. The T1 shocks were mega long compared to each later year. It would make sense if some Serpent shocks came on some sense they were originally distributed out of Serpent HQ though.
