Team Tamale T4 chassis & 12th tire truing adaptors

Team Tamale have introduced a new Xray T4 chassis made from 7075 T6 as well as 1/12th and 1/10th pan car tire truing adapters for foam tires. This chassis incorporates a few features not found on other T4 aluminium chassis. First, the battery compartment and the electronics side have been milled down. These cutouts will bring the chassis thickness down to 1.5mm. This allows the battery, speed control, receiver and servo to sit lower on the chassis as well as increase the flex through the middle of the chassis for different handling characteristics. You do not have to put the servo on the chassis, but you can used the floating mount. The motor recess have also been made 2mm narrower while limiting bending in this area. To limit the chassis rub in corners they also narrowed this chassis 2mm on each side and added a taper down each side. This will also help with the edge of the chassis catching on the race surface. Finally they have also added a taper at the front and rear areas around the droop screw areas of the chassis to try and limit the extra rub that can be seen with soft springs in high traction.

We all know how difficult it is to true the new style pan car foam tires these days on the newer style rims such as the Jaco rims. The arbors that are available do not have the proper nut design to seat in the wheel without introducing some kind of run out or wobble. This new adapter solves this by actually applying the clamping force in the same way as the mounting screws. This produces a more consistently trued tire with minimum run out and wobble. The Hudy pan car arbor is supplied with a plastic knob with a 6 mm threaded brass insert.
