SETUP THEORY

Setting up a racecar with fully independent suspension, like your XRAY T, is necessary to make the car perform well. We have developed these 

straightforward procedures to help you set up your car properly and easily. Always follow these procedures step-by-step, in the order presented, and 

always make sure that you make equal adjustments on both left and right sides of the car. 

The Set-Up Theory section describes the effects of changing settings on your T racing car. We refer to handling effects of the car in the corner, and 

we distinguish three corner sections and three throttle/brake positions as follows: 

• corner entry 

 

• braking 

• mid-corner 

 

• off-throttle 

• corner exit 

 

• on-throttle 

Car setup is a complex matter, as all adjustments interact. Fine-tuning the setup will make the car faster and often easier to drive near its performance 

limit. This means that all the effort you put into your car in preparing it and optimizing the setup will pay off in better results and more satisfaction. 

Chassis stiffness (especially torsional) is an important factor when setting up your car. A stiff chassis helps to eliminate chassis flexing and twisting, 

which would otherwise introduce another factor that is not easy to measure or adjust. However, chassis stiffness is also a setup tool. By altering 

chassis stiffness by changing the main chassis plate, top deck, chassis stiffeners, or other components, you can make a “softer” or “stiffer” car that 

may be more or less suited for racing or your driving style. T features the world's first exclusive XRAY Multi-Flex Technology

TM

 (XRAY patent) that 

enables you to adjust the car’s stiffness.

If you choose to adjust your car set-up to better suit different track conditions, make small adjustments, one at a time, and see if you find any 

improvement  in  handling  with  each  adjustment.  We  advise  you  to  keep  track  of  your  set-up  changes,  and  record  which  set-ups  work  best  at 

different racetracks under various conditions. You can upload all your T set-up settings to the XRAY's On-line Virtual Set-up Sheet Database at  

www.teamxray.com and can access your personal settings from anywhere. You can also benefit from all the set-up sheet knowledge and download 

the set-up sheets from XRAY factory team drivers.

Remember that for the car to work and respond to set-up changes properly, it must be in good mechanical shape. Check the well functioning of 

critical areas such as the free movement of the suspension, smoothness of shock absorbers, and lubrication and wear of transmission parts after 

each run, and especially after a collision.

After rebuilding the chassis, or in case you become lost with your set-up, always return to the last set-up you have recorded, or use one of the set-

ups posted for your car.

When setting up your T2 car, we strongly recommend using the Hudy All-In-One Set-Up Solution #108255, which includes all 

the required and neccessary set-up tools and equipment.
