Xray T3 2011

I did the servo mod myself to test out this past weekend and here are my thoughts:
Overall, the car seemed easier to drive...easier to find the entry to corners...easier to control the car coming out of corners and durring correction.
I don't think that you'll see an outright change ultimate fastest lap... but for me it seemed easier to pull off those faster laps with a more comfortable driving car and more consistantly.

Steve,
Did you mount it all the same as Alex Hagberg?
If not any chance of a pic or two?
Many Thanks

I did mine very similar to how Alex outlined how he did his. I used a 10 mm xray ballstud through the bellcrank and the rack, and held it in place with a locknet that I shaved down to fit properly and then dremeled to clear the belt.

Hey I'm not sure on what effect it will have but I have a good setup that works very well so I should get I good idea on the weekend.just by the looks it will only result in a smoother feel I think but if there I no change then the room you get from the mod is well worth it:-)

52mm or 50mm
what are the effects of running 52mm or 50mm drive shafts in the rear? Does one provide more traction than another?

I have an xray t3 2010, the car is pretty good..i have one problem..it seems to get loose and spin out when turning left..what could be the problem..i have checked the bulkheads to see if they are bent..i have checked chassis, it is not tweaked...what could it be..i did see that my left front dogbone is rubbing by swaybar up front..i believe i fixed that and it still spins out going left...someone help me out..droop, camber, ride height, all have been checked..good set of tires on the car...running on carpet...give me an idea
i wouldnt have thought about it myself until i saw it on someone's chassis on the weekend, but they had the same issue..
the other symptom of this was the car wiggled like crazy when accellerating down the straight.

For reference, the existing steering post hole is approximately half covered by the front of my servo with how it is installed now.
Now that I've tested the position intially I may move the servo back a little bit to see if there is any advantage but I think the weight of the servo 2 mm forward or back from where it is now is minor compared to the difference that the servo throw/leverage makes with the modification.

hi,i have mine mount much the same as Steve with servo edge flush with the chassie my servo is mount about 00.2 off the steering post only because when the steering is at full lock i like the servo link to be straight then angled i feel that its better support on the servo and plus with the servo where it is was good for my corner weight.
