Great video, Alexander. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.

Fantastic to see this comparison and get your commentary of there feel. Many thanks for sharing 👏👏👏

I'm an off road racers and I enjoyed this comparison.... keep those videos coming... awesome job

Awesome. Really one of the best rc video ever seen, a joy for guys like me who loves tech aspects. Thank you very much Alex to have done.

Thank you for sharing this very interesting comparison.

Great video Alex! The T1 was my first proper car back in the day and I have many great memories of it, I recently bought an old banged up one on ebay and restored it back to good condition to go on the shelf. It was nice to see one back on track again!

Awesome video! My T1 Factory Kit is getting reassembled ASAP, and getting back to the track :)

Great video Alexander!!👍🏼

Beautiful comparision, good job! 😀👍

That was great Alex. I was also very surprised how well you wheeled the old T1. Low bite tracks are great equalizers.

Nice video Alex💪🔝

That was brilliant and very informative thank you👍👍

Very interesting look at the old and the new. Thanks!

Alexander, thanks. Great video! Very interesting video, especially considering the cost of T1 relative to X1 ... :)

grande Alexander ma non'ho ancora capito quanti anni hai, se già vent'anni fa eri un drive man di XRAY, oggi invece sei un esempio per tutti!!BRAVO.

Great video

I did this a couple years ago with my original t1 from 2003 and t4 16. Pillow ball suspension and one way. Indoor on crc carpet. I tried both modern rubber and old foam tires. Massive traction roll with the t1. It was really only driveable with 21.5 motor. I used a lipo saddle pack, but a pretty bad radio, esc and servo. After watching your video i'd like to do it again. I found a nos stratus body and I would use a better radio. I also have a t4 20 and x4 now to compare. I have done this with offroad cars too. Very cool Alex, thanks!

Really nice video Alex and I'm glad you mentioned the body - if you could have got a modern body to fit the T1 I'm sure you would have had got some of that missing steering back and been even closer on the times. I do miss the days when touring cars actually looked like touring cars...

I still have the T1R Raycer from X-ray. Recently I started driving with it again with too modern electronics. Have been too long away from a RC track or just RC riding in general. Now waiting for dry weather to get on the road again. Enjoyed your video!

I am a 100% buggyman but this was very nice to see. You make good videos. Bra pratat!

I was enjoy the video on this interesting comparison, I still drive my T208 sometime and it goes very good run, thx Alexander.

BRAVO Mr Hagberg. Pas très commercial pour Xray mais très honnête. Un top pilotes sur une ancienne voiture reste un top pilote. Super vidéo. Merci.

Great comparison Alex!! I'm so glad you did this. I've wondered the same thing for years. The T1 Evo2 was a BEAST on carpet with foam tires. I wonder how it would fare now on rubber tires against the X4 on carpet?

Interesting an informative

Nice video Alex. Did you try to put the alfa bodyshell on the X4 ?

Nice video! I'd have to imagine if you put in electronics from that time period it would have been over a second slower, maybe 1.5 seconds!! Thanks!!

Had the T1 way back when and it came with a free tool kit which I still use to this day

This proves my point. Getting driving skills up beats investing in getting the latest (talking club level only)

I still love the t1 evo 2 it was such a great car back in the day!

Superb video and comparison, I would love to see an AE comparison of sorts one day from a team driver just like you did here with the X 🤙🏻

Nice.

I remember when they released the T1, it was a straight copy of the Corally touring car. I hade the Corally touring car and we bought alu part from the T1 to fit on the Corally :)

Interesting comparison, Alex. As you pointed out, the body played a bit of a factor as well, which is something I personally experienced last year. Due to a product mishap with a body shell I had ordered online and last minute for my first race in 20 years, I had to use an old Protoform Honda Accord shell that I still had new in the bag from my previous RC life. 🙂 The Accord is from the same era as the Alfa you used. A fellow brand driver (sorry, I drive another brand that I won’t mention here 😉) lent me an extra Protoform Turismo that he had, and the body change alone improved my lap times .4 a lap… Makes you wonder what the T1 might do if it could accommodate a modern shell… On the other hand, I still love those old bodies, which remind me of my early days with pan cars where we regularly ran the Jaguar XJR10’s, the Nissan GTP ZX-Turbos, and the Porsche 962’s. Cars easily identifiable with the IMSA prototypes of that era…. But yes, the new shells are yet another innovation in the quest for speed and grip. Anyway - yes, I drive another brand chassis, but I still love the innovation that XRay and others have brought to the class in recent years, and the X4 is yet another push forward. This is why I love to follow ALL brands and how they continue to advance the hobby/sport.

actually i do remember the first time Alexander Hagberg visit the local track in my area everybody that saw his xray went drooling and eaven i went amazed about the milled alu parts and carbon fibre parts. some members of that club got hold of xray cars as fast as posible as they where like the next generation of touring cars. since that time i always had a dream and feelings about xray tho i at that time couldent afford an xray at that time i gone and filled that dream last year as i got hold of a brand new box of XB2-22 last year soon after they released those cars.

Is the X-ray t1 fk05 the same as the t1 evo

Xray should do a vintage re-release of the evo 2FOC, it would sell like hot cakes🔥

I’ve always thought about taking the old cars off the wall and racing them. The problem I’ve always have is figuring out how to make Lipos fit in old saddle pack cars.

Your X4 has horizontal body mounts as well as the usual vertical ones? So 6 clips hold it on?

Hi Alex, great video. and very interesting findings. From a totally new to the hobby I would add a couple of points: 1 - The human factor is important and ofter neglected. Point being other drivers could find it harder to adapt to older technologies and they would probably get bigger time differences. 2 - Has tyre and electronics technology evolved more in 20 years than the design of chassis? It would be interesting to compare side by side two X4s, one with 20 year old electronics and tyres (if we could get a few sets now). My take would be that based only on tires, the time difference could be more than just half a second. Thanks for sharing

This is really, really interesting. If the T1 had the same body and double joint driveshaft, the results would have been more similar. I think there doesn't seem to be much change in chassis capability for a 20-year gap. Again, the powertrain is the biggest factor.

Wow 20 years and only 5/10ths better, I would have thought 1 second minimum if not more. Cool comparison though.

With the high spur gear and the belt drive it looks similar to the Tamiya TA04 from around the same era.

Vad har du för esc på x4? fläktgsllret ser lite annorlunda ut? Grym video.

Should have tried the Alfa body on the x4 for a fair comparison. Nice video though, 👍👍

Great that you did this! What about cross platform next?

Ang. kaross du skulle ha satt Alfan på X4:an. Den moderna karossen passade ju inte på T1, men Alfan hade passat på X4:an. Kul test du gjorde. (o:

Do another test on a high grip track!!

This is probably a reason to keep racing my T4 2016, i need to get better, not a better car.

I think you missed chassis flex. Old cars had little flex. New designs control the flex along the chassis centerline.

And could you do it with a T4 against the X4 please. And please without sandbagging.

I am sure in stock the difference would be even smaller

Any chance of being able to buy that T1 from you? 🙏

I have the 12 scale T1 mini Touring carbon fiber the T1 10 scales little bro ahah

Ahhh yes…..the days when a built chassis fit into the box it came in.

Pillow ball setup #mydreamcomparison!

Put alfa body in the x4 and show us the results😉

Please send the T1 to me . I'm not surprised by the results .

If I were XRay CeoI wouldn’t have allowed publishing this video: it shows clearly that technical progress weighs very little and that it is only a prowess question

I still run my t1

How about minimum ground clearance. How about all championship touring car races are done on parking lots. How about some rules on how far you can go from real cars on the shape of the body? How about minimum droop and suspension travel rules? How about picking a battery size and sticking with it? How about tires that are made to drive many race events? Noooo we will just let things get more and more out of hand to the class dies. I get to watch off road die now.

So in a few words Xray is Always Great! 👍 😉
