Press release from Team Tamale:
Here is our new Xray T4 chassis made from 7075 T6. This chassis incorporates a few features not found on other T4 aluminum chassis. First, from the pictures, you can tell that the battery compartment and the electronics side have been milled down. These cutouts will bring the chassis thickness down to 1.5mm. This allows the battery, speed control, receiver, and servo to sit lower on the chassis as well as increase the flex through the middle of the chassis. You do not have to put the servo on the chassis, but you can used the floating mount.
The motor recess has been made 2mm narrower. We looked to decrease the size of this to try and limit bending in this area. To limit the chassis rub in corners we narrowed this chassis 2mm on each side and added a taper down each side. This will also help with the edge of the chassis catching on the race surface. We have also added a taper at the front and rear areas around the droop screw areas of the chassis to try and limit the extra rub that can be seen with soft springs in high traction.
We are offering these in the 1.5 thickness version at this time. I would like to do some additional testing with the 1.25 and 1.0 versions before offering them for sale.
We all know how difficult it is to true the new style pan car foam tires these days on the newer style rims such as the Jaco rims pictured below. The arbors that are available do not have the proper nut design to seat in the wheel whithout introduce some kind of run out or wobble. Our new adapter solves this by actually applying the clamping force in the same way as the mounting screws. This produces a more consistantly trued tire with minimum runout and wobble. Pictured below is using the latest version of the Hudy pan car arbor, it is supplied with a plastic knob with a 6mm threaded brass insert. Depending on the arbor you may already have, it may work with the knob supplied with that arbor. There are just to many variations out there to know what will and won't work. Shown below is the 1/12 scale 3 hole version and 1/10 scale 4 hole version. Hudy arbor is not included. These can be purchased seperately or as a set for a small discount.
