T2’009 EU Rubber-spec vs. US Foam-spec Editions

Whether you are racing with foam or rubber tires on carpet or asphalt… there is a T2’009 for you. You can choose between the EU or US Editions and have a car that is finely tuned for each specific racing environment. Despite both cars being built from the same platform and sharing all the same goodies, each edition of the car has very small differentiating details that enable you to gain an edge in competitive performance.

(click to enlarge)

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.

(click to enlarge)

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).

(click to enlarge)

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.

(click to enlarge)

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.

(click to enlarge)

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.

(click to enlarge)

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.

(click to enlarge)

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.

(click to enlarge)

Lightweight Composite XRAY Solid Axle

Rotating mass is one of the most significant influences on the performance of an RC racecar. With the great success of the T2’008, the T2’009 features a unique lightweight composite XRAY Front Solid Axle. The Front Solid Axle has a very stiff structure and ultra-light weight that was achieved by molding the entire solid axle from XRAY’s own self-formulated composite material.

Outdrives are fully exchangeable which allows very easy and comfortable servicing, while the unique drive shaft connection — eliminating the former drive shaft blades — enables direct power transfer to the axle and eliminates play between the drive shaft and outdrives, improving steering precision and increasing overall steering.

The XRAY Front Solid Axle is included only in the EU Edition, but is available as an option for the US Edition.

(click to enlarge)

Aluminum XRAY Ball Differential

The T2’009 features a high–competition, super-smooth Aluminum Ball Differential. Manufactured from the premium Swiss 7075 T6 and additionally hard anodized to increase the lifespan of the outdrives. The differential is externally adjustable and comes factory pre-assembled.

XRAY’s innovative and smart Labyrinth Dust Cover™ diff protection system has been carried over from previous T1/T2 platforms where it has been very successfully used for many years. The special internal labyrinth design of the diff covers prevents dirt, debris, and carpet fibers from getting into the differential, thus reducing servicing and ensuring long life.

The XRAY Aluminum Ball Differential features carbide balls and a high-quality carbide thrustbearing for ultra-smooth running.

The EU Edition features the XRAY Aluminum Ball Differential in rear, while the US Edition features the diff at both front and rear.

Ultra-lightweight Aluminum Bulkheads

The ultra-lightweight bulkheads have been carried over from the T2’008 and are a work of engineering art, where luxury meets simplicity and practicality. The bulkheads are CNC-machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum and are strategically machined to provide the lightest possible skeletal support framework for the car. Thanks to the ultra-low platform it was possible to create the lowest, smallest, and lightest bulkheads ever. The bulkheads are color-coated in a distinctive orange color. (Note: color may vary slightly between products).

The rear bulkheads feature a split design, allowing the rear suspension to be mounted to separate bulkheads while the center layshaft sits on its own, super-narrow bulkheads which are positioned closer to the center of the chassis. XRAY’s legendary attention to detail is noticeable in all the precisely chamfered edges. The split design of the bulkheads also enables super-easy access to front and rear differentials and the middle layshaft. Exchanging diffs and spur gear has never been quicker or easier.

As with previous XRAY cars, both front and rear bulkheads feature integrated belt-tension adjustment through the use of adjustable bearing eccentric holders, eliminating the need for a separate belt tensioner. All ball-bearings turn in composite hubs to reduce friction and improve drivetrain efficiency.

XRAY’s attention to the detail and perfection is evident with their TQM (Total Quality Management) approach. Not only are all bulkheads inspected during the production process, but they are also mounted to the chassis by expertly-trained staff to verify that the car’s “backbone” has been perfectly manufactured. So when you open the box, you will see and appreciate the beauty.

2 Different Chassis

There are 2 different chassis available for the T2’009, each specially designed and optimized for the particular type of racing conditions where the car will be used. The EU Edition was designed for rubber tire racing, features a 2.5mm thick chassis CNC-machined from premium grade graphite material, along with slots for 6-cell batteries. Standard 5-or 6-cell battery packs can be used as well as LiPo batteries. The US Edition was designed for 6-cell foam tire racing, and features an ultra-thick 3.5mm CNC-machined chassis of premium-grade graphite material. Both EU and US chassis will accommodate regular RC car LiPo batteries.

(click to enlarge)

US Edition Milled Chassis

The extra-thick, extra-stiff chassis of the US Edition features top milled pockets where all parts are connected to or mounted to the chassis. This allows bulkheads and all other parts to be mounted very low, in fact they are at the level as the standard 2.5mm chassis. The extra thickness of the chassis enables the car to achieve an ultra-stiff torsion and flex setting required for high-competition foam-tire racing. XRAY knows that even the smallest details have an impact on the handling and performance of the car, so every chassis is CNC-machined in-house by XRAY using the most modern German milling machines; these machines are fully robotically controlled to ensure that every chassis meets the tightest manufacturing tolerances.

(click to enlarge)

US Edition Top Deck

The US Edition top deck is purposefully wider in the front, allowing it to be connected to the chassis with aluminum stands, creating a solid platform for high-traction foam-tire racing. The rear separate top deck mount features the same extra-wide design, allowing the rear top deck mount to be connected to the chassis via aluminum stands.

(click to enlarge)

EU Edition Top Deck

The EU Edition top deck was specially designed and optimized for rubber-tire racing. The super-narrow and long design gives appropriate torsion and flex, reducing unwanted tweak in crashes. Also, the top deck is machined from thinner graphite material to provide higher grip.

(click to enlarge)

Top Deck Mount

The center aluminum top deck is used for rubber-tire carpet racing which permits decreased front suspension traction and eliminates front tires overheating, ensuring consistent handling throughout an entire run. The aluminum center top deck mount can be easily mounted or removed depending on the particular racing conditions.

(click to enlarge)

Front Bulkhead Reinforcement Legs

The front bulkheads were specially designed to allow adjustment of front chassis flex for different racing conditions. The lower part of the front bulkheads features reinforcement legs which can be easily mounted to the chassis (via 2 extra screws) which influences the front flex of the chassis; removing the screws from the reinforcement legs gives additional chassis flex.

(click to enlarge)

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.

(click to enlarge)

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.

(click to enlarge)

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.

(click to enlarge)

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.

(click to enlarge)

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.

(click to enlarge)

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.

(click to enlarge)

Rear Uprights

The rear uprights feature built-in 0° toe to ensure stability and prevent suspension geometry changes in hard crashes. There are two different roll center positions on the rear uprights, and more roll center positions can be easily adjusted by adding shims between the upright and the turnbuckle ball joint.

The rear uprights feature small but robust 5x10x4 ball-bearings to minimize unsprung weight.

The rear uprights are available in two different hardnesses which were optimized for particular racing conditions. The EU Edition includes medium hardness (M) uprights specially optimized for rubber-tire racing, while the US Edition includes hard hardness (H) uprights that are well proven to provide a solid and stiff suspension for foam-tire racing.

Body Posts

Beefy 6mm thick body posts are made from special composite material that provides maximum strength but sufficient flex to reduce body post breakage in hard crashes or if you flip the car over. The body supports are rounded to have a better fit and provide better support to the car body.

For ultimate tuning and adjustment, XRAY offers optional body height adjustable body posts which allow the independent front & rear body height adjustment by +1mm or +2mm.

Premium HUDY Greases

The T2’009 includes premium HUDY Graphite and Diff greases.

#106210 HUDY Graphite Grease is a high-performance, advanced-technology semi-fluid lubricant which incorporates both extreme pressure additives and finely-dispersed graphite for load carrying. It is intended primarily for the lubrication of rotating parts and loaded gears. In addition to providing outstanding load carrying, it is formulated to have excellent adhesion and resistance to "fling-off" under extreme conditions. The grease reduces wear and increase the parts life.

#106211 HUDY Diff Grease is a high-performance, model racing car general-purpose silicone based grease, formulated to provide extra protection against wear, corrosion, and water. HUDY Diff Grease is recommended for most types of rotating and moving parts in any RC car. This silicone grease is especially well-suited for use in ball differentials, axial (thrust) bearings, and in any other ball-bearings that require grease. Suggested for use in any heavy-duty application where high pressures or loads are present. This grease provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion while resisting water wash-out, making it particularly suitable for racing in wet conditions. The silicone grease operates within a large temperature spectrum and will work in all extreme conditions up to and over 100°C.

Optional Battery Holder

Being a high-competition racing car, the T2’009 uses tape to hold the batteries to the chassis to reduce unnecessary weight. HUDY Fibre-Reinforced Tape #107870 is recommended by the Team XRAY factory racing team for high-competition racing.

The chassis also features holes for an optional graphite battery strap for 6-cell battery pack (#306163) which features the XRAY Smart Battery Holder System™. A captured aluminum wheel enables you to easily secure the battery strap without clips. Easy, smart, quick.

The race-oriented XRAY battery holder was designed to ensure that it won't affect chassis stiffness even if you tighten the capture wheel excessively.
