Smokem Racing T4’14-IIX chassis
It’s XRAY’s turn to get the Smokem treatment with the release of the T4’14-IIX chassis.At the heart of the T4’14-IIX is a proprietary 2.0mm thick “Pro-Weave” 100 percent carbon fiber construction – which is stiffer than conventional weave but softer than a quasi weave. As seen on the our 418-IIX and BD7-IIX chassis, this unique construction is married to a flowing contoured design for increased flex and a lowered centre of gravity. This combination delivers increased corner speed over a wide range of track conditions and temperatures.High speed steering and transitional response are also improved with the T4’14-IIX design. Furthermore, the differential and spur gear openings have been closed off to enhance flex characteristics and improve airflow on the bottom of the chassis.
