Snowbirds

Tech info from The 2025 Snowbird Nationals!

Regarding my XRAY X12'25, I have to say that it was the best handling 1/12 car that I've driven on black carpet to date! Some of the key set-up details were:

No side braces for more mid corner steering and a more forgiving feel.

Quite a lot of front droop and little rear droop, for the max. amount of on-power steering.

Very little camber and caster, as well as little Ackermann gave the perfect amount of corner speed while retaining good drivability.

Hotrace Tyres Factory T-foam on standard rim gave superior, long lasting grip throughout the race.

About my Hobbywing Technology and Team EAM, Inc electronic setup:
I used a 5.5T G3 motor in my TC for the first time, and was amazed by the improved drivability (as a result of the reduced punch over a 5.0T motor).
I used a titanium 12.3mm rotor (HW30820402) in my G3 3.5T motor in the 1/12 open modified class for the first time. This rotor improved runtime (efficiency) with an equal amount of power.
My EAM 4200 (2S shorty) and 8500 (1S) packs provided exceptional runtime and consistency in both classes.
