LiPo Optimized & Ready
The high-competition T2 platform was designed primarily for using NiMH battery packs. With the advancement of battery technology, the T2'009 has been optimized and prepared to accommodate the most popular LiPo batteries packs. Special graphite pads are inserted between the top deck and bulkheads which raise the top deck by 2.5mm to allow the fitting of LiPo battery packs with a height 24 mm.
Lipo Conversion Set
With the enormous popularity of LiPo batteries, XRAY is proud to introduce the LiPo Conversion Set for EU and US Edition cars. This set allows the use of popular LiPo batteries in EU and US Edition cars.
Due to continuous development of LiPo batteries, XRAY cannot guarantee that all LiPo packs will fit due to the fact that there are no set rules for the LiPo pack properties (e.g., sizing).
Optimized Drivetrain
The ultra-efficient XRAY drivetrain has been carried over from the T2'008. With the current trend of high development in the electric motor industry, the drivetrain has been optimized to work efficiently with all most popular motors: stock, modified, and brushless motors. As such the T2'009 comes only with 34T diff pulleys and large 20T center layshaft pulley.
The drivetrain features optimized diffs specifically used for foam and rubber spec racing. For rubber-tire racing the Front Solid Axle is used, while for foam-tire racing the adjustable ball differential is used in both front and rear.
Optimized Drive Shaft Lengths
When it comes to high-competition design, the transfer of power to the wheels is extremely important and as such the T2'009 uses optimum drive shaft lengths specifically for rubber and foam racing conditions.
For rubber-tire racing using larger-diameter rubber tires, longer 52mm drive shafts are used to allow the drive shafts to be positioned more towards the car centerline in the front diff/solid axle outdrives. This generates more overall traction and makes the car easier to drive on low-traction tracks.
For foam-tire racing using smaller-diameter foam tires, standard 50mm drive shafts are used as the foam tires have generally higher traction than rubber tires and as such the shorter drive shafts give optimum torque transfer to the wheels.
New Super-Lightweight Drive Axles
To reduce rotating weight the T2'009 features super-lightweight wheel axles which have the outer diameter specially ground to remove the material while keeping the same strength thanks to the use of HUDY Spring Steel™ material. The lightweight drive axles reduce rotating mass up to 35% compared to regular drive axles.
New Rear Drive Shafts
With high-competition performance in mind, the rotating mass of the drivetrain was reduced. The T2'009 features lightweight aluminum drive shafts machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6, hard-anodized and additionally black coated for stylish looks. The aluminum drive shafts are designed for use in the rear, and come in both lengths specifically for EU and US Editions.
To maximize durability and safety during runs (and to better withstand hard crashes), super strong HUDY Spring Steel™ drive shafts are used at the front of the car.
Diff Height Adjustment
Both front and rear bulkheads feature independent diff height adjustment. By rotating the diff eccentric holders, the height of the diff can be adjusted by 1mm. Optional eccentric holders with 2mm offset are available which allows diff height adjustment of 2mm.
Kevlar® Drive Belts
The 2-belt 4WD drivetrain concept provides maximum efficiency and highest performance using Kevlar®-reinforced drive belts for ultra-high durability. Narrow (3mm) front and rear drive belts have been specially ground for minimum thickness and flexibility.
Centrally-positioned Layshaft
The middle layshaft is strategically positioned towards the center of the chassis on separate, super-narrow middle layshaft bulkheads positioned along the chassis centerline. The middle drive pulleys are positioned along side of the main spur gear and as such the drivetrain energy is transmitted from the motor through the centrally-positioned spur gear to both middle layshaft pulleys... ensuring maximum balance of the car.
Alu Middle Layshaft
The aluminum layshaft is strategically CNC-machined to minimize rotating weight without compromising strength or integrity. The hollow layshaft is perfectly round with zero runout, eliminating drivetrain vibration and producing a positive balance. Composite pulleys key solidly to the layshaft.
Proven Suspension Geometry
From the narrow arms, through the tiny front and rear suspension blocks, to the small and robust steering blocks, every suspension part has been specially designed and optimized to provide responsive racing characteristics in all racing conditions. Over the years XRAY has successfully gained and utilized extensive suspension geometry knowledge and self-developed suspension stiffness technology, which have been utilized when designing suspension parts. The ultra-lightweight suspension parts are molded from a special composite material that makes the parts very light yet very durable to withstand the rigors of high-performance racing.
The T2'009 features optimized suspension parts carried over from the T2'008. The arms feature a single optimized shock mounting position and integrated anti-roll bar mounts. The rear arms feature two anti-roll bar mounts for super-fine adjustment of the anti-roll bar.
The EU Rubber-spec Edition features standard hard composite mixture arms (marked "H"). The US Foam-spec Edition includes well-proven, extra-hard arms (marked "XH") manufactured from specially-formulated composite compounds which makes the arms extra stiff.
The front suspension arms allow 3mm adjustment of front arm position.
C-hubs
The T2'009 C-hubs are carried from the T2'008 as well and feature large openings for quicker & easier assembly/disassembly of the CVDs. The entire CVD assembly can be easily inserted/removed through the C-hub without the need for disassembly. The large openings prevent collision of CVD with C-hub in serious crashes and are optimized for use with optional ECS drive shafts.
The C-hubs are available in all standard caster angles (2°, 4° and 6°) and are also available in two different hardnesses that are optimized for particular racing conditions. The EU Edition includes medium hardness (M) C-hubs specially optimized for rubber-tire racing, while the US Edition includes hard hardness (H) C-hubs that are well proven to provide a solid and stiff suspension for foam-tire racing.
XRAY Quick Roll-Centers™
XRAY's self-developed Quick Roll-Centers™ make setup quick & easy. The front and rear shock towers feature pre-set optimized roll center positions. Using the eccentric aluminum roll center holders you can easily choose one of 4 quick roll-center positions on the front shock tower; the rear shock tower features two extra positions, making a total of 6 different quick roll-center positions. Easy, smart, quick.
The extra positions for Quick Roll-Center™ positions allow the entire rear upper link to be positioned higher for improved cornering speeds in long sweepers on open tracks.
Graphite Shock Towers
The super-low front and rear shock towers are CNC-machined from premium 3mm thick graphite material to guarantee maximum strength and long life, and the lower height allows the shocks to be mounted lower thus making the CG lower. The front shock tower was specially machined for ultra-low weight without compromising strength.
The shock towers feature optimized shock mounting positions for short shock absorbers, and the feature different positions for Quick Roll Center™ settings. The all-in-one shock towers are optimized for use with either rubber or foam tires.
