Xray T3 US Foam-Spec 6-Cell Edition Luxury Touring Car Kit The Legend Reborn XRAY has long been viewed as the highest-quality touring car available since it entered the RC car scene in 2000. Now with a long and distinguished history of racing achievements and groundbreaking, award-winning innovations, XRAY is proud to offer the T3 … A top-quality "no-compromise" engineering marvel designed to put you in the winners circle. Revolution, evolution, optimization… those are the key terms that describe the T1 and T2 platforms brought in the last decade to the racing world and the new T3 carries forward all the heritage and racing pedigree to again raise the standard ever higher. XRAY Research & Development along with the Factory Team devoted themselves to extensive testing, all in the effort to bring the consumer the latest evolution: The new T3 platform. With fast-paced rule changes in the electric touring car class, the main focus of the T3 was to design the car for brushless motors and especially for LiPo technology… to take on what the world can offer and outperform all others under any racing conditions or rules. Take your pick — asphalt, carpet, rubber or foam tires, NiMH or high-performance LiPo batteries, cutting-edge brushed or brushless motors — the T3 can handle them all and still dominate the competition in the process. No extras needed… just a desire to win. Pure design. Pure racing. Pure adrenaline. Dipl. Eng.

With countless victories and titles from all around the world — including 25x US National Champion, International Indoor Champion '05-'06-'07-'08-'09, US Snowbird Champion '04-'05-'06-'07-'08-'09, 5x European Junior Champion and over 200+ national titles around the world — XRAY touring cars have become the world's most favorite touring car as voted in the Reader's Choice Awards and more than 12x Car of the Year Awards. Over the years, XRAY's Engineering Department has continued its ongoing development, bringing with it a fresh new version of its touring car platform, always superseding and improving upon its predecessors. New XRAY T3 The new T3 platform is the next evolution of XRAY's highly-successful touring car platform which had its roots in the T1 (introduced in 2000) and the T2 platform (introduced in 2005). With the latest advancements in electronics, motors and especially batteries (bringing the new standard of LiPo batteries), the T3 has been purposely designed as a new modern platform optimized to incorporate and accommodate these new developing standards. The T3 packs in all of the latest parts and products supporting the car's high-performance nature to gain a distinct edge in the highly-competitive spectrum of foam- and rubber-tire racing. T3 EU Rubber-spec vs. US Foam-spec Editions Whether you are racing with foam or rubber tires on carpet or asphalt… there is a T3 for you. You can choose between the EU and US Editions and have a car that is finely tuned for each specific racing environment. Despite both cars being built from the same platform, each edition of the car has very small details that enable you to gain an edge in competitive performance.
