Bulkheads.

The front & rear bulkheads feature a horizontal split design (HS) to retain easy diff access while adding the valuable new diff height adjustment.

The front & rear bulkheads feature a horizontal split design (HS) to retain easy diff access while adding the valuable new diff height adjustment.

The unique design of the bulkheads uses an inline bushing to alter the alignment and height of the bevel drive gear. In addition to accommodating the new diff height adjustments, it also allows the front central driveshaft to operate with a reduced angle for less friction and wear on the CV joint components and improved driveline efficiency.

The XT4 bulkheads allow fast and easy differential access for setup changes or servicing by removing only 4 screws from the upper gear box cover while the lower section remains mounted to the chassis. This super-fast diff access is featured on both front and rear gearboxes.

The super-strong, narrow bulkheads provide the needed clearance for the redesigned suspension holders with expanded set-up possibilities.

Diff Height Adjustment.

The front & rear HS bulkheads incorporate a diff height adjustment using eccentric bushings. In the front gearbox, the diff height has 3 possible settings. The rear differential can be adjusted through a 5mm range. The diff height is a valuable adjustment that allows for quick set-up adaption.

Diff Height Adjustment.

Central Drive Train.

The design of the HS bulkhead’s inline bushing for the bevel drive gear keeps the gear properly matched to the diff height position. It also creates a more linear orientation for the front center drive shaft, reducing the CV joint angle for increased efficiency and decreased friction and wear.  The height of the rear center drive gear is also adjustable to match the height adjustment of the differential.

Front - there are 3 different angle configurations for adjustment of the front drive train.

Rear - there are 6 different height configurations for adjustment of the rear drive train.

Diff Gears.

The new pinion gear is shorter to move CV joint closer to the differential, reducing the driveshaft angle and improving drive train efficiency.

Both crown gear and pinion gear are CNC-machined from HUDY Spring Steel and are ultra-hardened making them very strong and reliable with a longer life span. The split crown gear allows for a simpler change to optional gears without rebuilding the internal diff assembly and results in significantly lower rotating mass and improves the serviceability.

To improve the gear engagement both crown gear and pinion gear have more teeth and new geometry that results in smoother engagement and increased efficiency.

Chassis Layout.

The new chassis layout was tested on all kind of surfaces to increase performance in every track situation. The center drive train and battery were significantly moved forwards compared to previous layouts.

Moving the weight balance to the front increases the stability and predictability on the track. Now the XT4 can be driven much harder and is more forgiving, which results in fewer mistakes and faster lap times.

The differential outdrives are designed for use with 2.5mm driveshaft pins. The gear diff set includes an 81T spur gear and a 78T spur gear is available as an option.

The central differential is recommended for use on clay, bumpy Astro and low-traction tracks to increase traction.

Drive Shafts.

The front and rear driveshaft lengths are updated to match the differential width and suspension geometry; the front drive shaft is 99mm long and the rear drive shaft is 94mm long.

The safety collar on the front driveshaft secures the pin and coupler, while the inner ball bearing captures the pin in the rear axles, preventing both assemblies from coming lose during a run.

XT4 constant velocity drive shafts are manufactured from world-renowned HUDY Spring Steel™ and feature 2.5mm drive pins for maximum drivetrain efficiency. The drive shafts are some of the world‘s thinnest yet most durable drive shafts used in electric off-road cars. Hardened with a proprietary hardening process, the drive shafts provide unbeatable lifespan and reliability.

Motor Mount.

The motor mounting plate features a shape for easier access to the pinion gear set screw. The inner motor screw is recessed into the mount for improved clearance around the center spur gear.

The motor is connected to an eccentric mounting plate, with the assembly then inserted into an integrated motor holder/drivetrain support. The design allows quick & easy motor rotation to adjust gear mesh, and still securely holds the motor plate using only a single screw.

To ensure the motor will not loosen in a serious crash or due to insufficient tightening, the motor plate has a bayonet mounting system which prevents it from being dislodged from the motor holder. By rotating the motor mount plate to the opposite direction, the motor can be quickly removed from the vehicle.

Removing the motor or adjusting the gear mesh is easy and fast, with changes possible in only a few seconds.

Multi-Adjustable Rear Suspension.

The rear suspension features adjustable rear-upright design, longer CVD drive shafts and longer, rear camber link. The rear suspension offers a vast range of roll-center tuning adjustments for different track conditions.

Rear Uprights.

Rear uprights feature multiple set-up options for upper & lower roll centers. The upper roll center is adjusted at the camber linkage via shims (up/down & in/out) while the lower roll center is adjustable to 9 different positions via eccentric inserts (up/down & in/out).

The multi-function uprights have the upper roll center position in the middle-axis of the drive shaft’s connecting joint to help generate more traction and increase stability.

There are three different uprights available: hard (included,) graphite (optional) and aluminum (optional), each suitable for a different range of track conditions.

Wheel Hubs.

The XT4 comes equipped with offset hexes to perfectly match the width of the truggy to the new suspension arms and hubs.

Ultra-lightweight 12mm wheel hex-drive hubs are CNC-machined from Swiss 7075 T6 black-coated aluminum. These ultra-true hex hubs have a clamping design to ensure ultra-solid mounting of the wheel’s hub.

To adjust track-width, optional offset wheel hex-drive hubs are available.

Suspension Arms.

The suspension arms are rigid enough to provide a responsive feel; yet soft enough for extreme durability. The exclusive composite mixtures used for suspension arms are a perfect balance between reliability and performance.

There are three different rear suspension arms available: medium (optional), hard (included) and graphite (optional), each suitable for particular track conditions.

Steering Blocks.

The tiny yet tough steering blocks are molded from a special composite mixture for maximum strength.

Composite steering block inserts allow for very quick & easy lower roll center adjustment. With additional shims and extra inserts, fine tuning the roll center is easily achieved.

For maximum drivetrain reliability, larger 5x12 ball-bearings are used in the outer position with increased dynamic load. On the inner position, the smaller 5x10 ball-bearings are used for minimized unsprung weight.

Caster Blocks.

The 1-piece caster blocks are very lightweight, yet the construction makes them very stiff and rigid. The non-adjustable caster angle is preset to 9°. Roll center position can be quickly & easily adjusted by inserting different thickness of shims atop the caster block (between the block and the vertical ball stud).

The front of the chassis is pre-angled with an integrated 8° caster angle, however the position of the adjustable eccentric bushings in the I.S.S.™ suspension holders influences the caster as well. (For example, if the eccentric bushings have the roll center in middle position, the caster angle is 9° which when added to the 9° caster block gives a total of 18° caster. The total adjustability range for caster is 16-20°.)

Optional caster blocks with 6° and 12° built-in caster angles are available for further suspension geometry adjustment.

There are four different caster blocks available: medium (optional), hard (included), graphite (optional) and aluminum (optional), each suitable for particular track conditions.

Spur Gear.

Precision-molded spur gears are made from XRAY's exclusive secret blend of composite material, allowing the gear to run true yet be robust enough to handle high-performance brushless motors. The spur gears are designed to have the lowest possible weight while staying strong and light. Each gear is stamped with the tooth number for easy identification.

The XT4 is equipped with an 81T spur gear which suits the majority of tracks. For additional tuning, optional 78T spur gear is available.

Shocks.

The shocks are membrane-free, yet they still allow for easy, consistent building and rebound setting using the bleed-screw shock cap design.

The aluminum body and lower cap are machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum.

Shock rods are machined from special steel material, precision hand-ground for maximum smooth operation, and additionally hardened for improved lifespan.

Shock Pistons.

Shock pistons are made from Delrin® and are molded using ultra-high precision moulds. All-new 2-hole pistons (1.6mm and 1.7mm holes) are now included in the set.

Shock Springs.

The XT4 springs have been specifically designed to complement the shocks.

The XT4 springs, like all other XRAY springs, are manually measured, selected, and matched into pairs to guarantee precisely equal length and damping characteristics.

Anti-roll Bars.

Anti-roll bars are manufactured from special spring steel material and are included to stabilize the front & rear ends of the truggy. The roll bars are easily mounted to the diff cases and can be adjusted with the linkages.

Both front & rear anti-roll bars are interchangeable since they have same shape. Anti-roll bar wires of different thickness are optionally available for fine-tuning. The thickness of each anti-roll bar is laser-engraved for easy identification.

Body.

The high performance low profile aerodynamic body was designed by XRAY to perfectly fit the XT4 and to work in most track conditions effectively.

The front and rear of the body have been designed to provide downforce for maximum stability of the truggy. The body sides as well the cockpit sides are as flat as possible to allow the air flow around the body for the side stability. On the top of roof two flow channels are incorporated for proper air flow.

The body is made from high quality premium Lexan material.

Rear Wing.

Stylish and effective rear wing works perfectly with the XRAY XT4 body. Made from strong Lexan™ material, the wing is supported on the mounts by extra flat shims to better support and extend the life of the wing.

Optional thicker 1.5mm (#363511) and 2.0mm (#363512) rear wings are highly reliable with less chance of breakage, while at the same time influencing the performance of the truggy. The thicker wing gives higher traction and stability but can reduce steering.

Ball-bearings.

The XT4 features greased ball-bearings for front steering blocks & rear uprights to increase lifespan in dusty conditions. The remaining bearings are degreased and oiled with AeroShell® Fluid 12 for maximum smoothness and long life.

A full set of high-speed ball-bearings are used throughout the drivetrain to ensure maximum efficiency.
