XRAY X4 22 and the Team Powers T3M

What car is best in 2022 when it comes to RC car 1/10scale touring car racing. We plan to race on carpet and on tarmac so what car is best for us.
From Modified and 13.5 turn brushless racing or stock racing in the 17.5 class which car will suit our needs.
In this video we take a closer look at the teampower t3m modified car and the Xray X4 22
The Tamiya TRF420x is the most expensive we looked at and most of the cars are over £500. But there are some cheaper options out there if you can find them.
The XRAY X4, Yokomo BD11, Schumacher Mi8,Team powers T3M and R3G and Marks favorite the Awesomatix.

The Xray X4 23´ is a awesome car, the best i have ever driven, cant wait to the X4 24 ´ come out and see what they have made different.

I have the privilege to test cars back to back on the same day with one radio ! Right now where the car design is Xray X4 is the best car overall(price/ease of use/maintenance/performance)! You can still run the T4 2021 as I do but it's slower than the X4! Another point I have to mention is the proper use of electronics! The ESC you have in the Xray is not up to the level of the car! Another point is that the t3m uses old-style technology like the anti-roll bar mount(not ball bearing),3 mm pins, plastic steering, and the same battery mount in all look-alike Xrays that I also have and use (blaze r2,r3, etc)! The plastic arms do not flex they provide more grip than the graphite ones but for high traction that's not good!

[@PopalongRC]

You clearly know ore than us … thanks for taking the time to comment

[@PCXMODSGR]

@@PopalongRC No problem ! If you need more info for a follow up video let me know !

[@PopalongRC]

Cheers buddy

I have the snrc pro with the upgraded front arm system the thing I'm looking at doing is changing the sway bar link to the xray style I think it's easier to adjust

[@andymc6721]

Great video. What screws do you remove to create the flex on the team powers chassis? I’ve just bought one. Thanks and keep up the great vids

[@YoShImUrA53]

Great insight of the differences! Those A-arms on the Xray are really something else. Both for the functionality of adjusting camber, as well as how amazing the CF looks

[@PopalongRC]

Great looking car as well as functional

[@beardbuffet5348]

Loving the studio shots … look sooo good

Hi Mark and Carl great video brilliant information the car look so cool I've got the hobao hyper GTB roller on 6s there I link below mate 😀👍

[@PopalongRC]

Cool like the sound of that …

[@barrycheesemore2928]

Great video, both cars look fantastic. There are a lot of other cars out there at various price points, for example the Xpress XQ2S, an FRP chassis car, mostly plastic parts, but for someone who wants to step up a bit from a basic Tamiya they're pretty good, and spares are available and pretty cheap. Xpress also do a couple of 'Pro' level cars, both belt and shaft driven, although they're up around the 500-odd quid mark. They also do a proper 'frontie' with a front mounted motor for around £165-ish, again FRP and plastic but upgrades are available. One car I would personally not buy is the Mi8, don't get me wrong, they're really good, but they seem to be pretty fragile, at least the people who race them at my local club (Stevenage) seem to have a lot of issues. Each to their own is the phrase, buy what you can afford, upgrade later as and when funds allow.

[@PopalongRC]

Great comments Barry thanks for watching See you trackside soon

[@Luke-en2tk]

The latest carbon suspension cars are great for the serious racer but they are a lot more complicated and definitely not as durable. 2023 is nearer to £700. The Mi8 is one of the best value cars on the market, spares are very reasonable as well

[@PopalongRC]

Hope to get our hands on a Mi8 soon

[@Luke-en2tk]

@@PopalongRC it's a fantastic car, when you have a car with an alloy diff case you will never go back, never need to rebuild it. I have a few spare diffs with different oils as a diff is a massive tuning tool in touring cars and I don't like to do oil changes at race meets

[@atomart_rc]

Great review guys.

[@PopalongRC]

Lovey car mate👍

[@scottblowers9592]

Thought I recognised that Xray! Both cars look great 👍🏻

[@Buster3526]

Hi guys, love the video. I have a x4 2023 if you’d like to borrow it for a review, if you want you can put it side by side with my 420x. 👍 Buster

[@PopalongRC]

That sounds awesome … we would be up for that for sure…

[@robertstewart3110]

I have the first gen ta05 arta super autobaccs with 7 turn hara brushed motor futaba fm computer radio will probaly pull it out and do some upgrade work with body and radio lol next time I've got a couple days off

[@PopalongRC]

Sounds good … we have a few old cars in the shelf that we could do with a few days off to fix . Hahah

[@TheNewnan3]

Are you guys gonna do a comparison video between the x4 2023 to the 2022?

[@PopalongRC]

Hopefully 👍

[@DPoner]

[@illic0]

Cheers illic0

[@milancheuk]

Nice nice, was this mini chassis or touring one? ❤

[@PopalongRC]

Touring 👍

[@milancheuk]

@@PopalongRC so they don’t sell this anymore? Or is it R3G or FFV3?

[@PopalongRC]

@@milancheuk pretty sure that there is a new car in the horizon👍

[@jahlion247]

All these cars are the same. It's just which name you want to buy.
