XRAY-ORCA podiums Modified Class at Racecraft Infinity On-Road Challenge 2011 Race 4 (July 3, 2011)



After 2 races were cancelled due to rain, Racecraft Infinity On-Road Challenge 2011 Race 4 finally resumed with 2 classes to compete, Modified Class and 17.5T Boosted Class. New layout made the track very technical with almost 3 seconds added to the laptimes. Still some part of the track needed to touch up, temporary protection barrier was in placed to get the event going!

In the Modified Class, Nicholas Lee and P.Y.Tang set early pace posting 16.974s and 17.061s respectively. Qualifying was unpredictable as starting position was picked randomly making passing traffic very difficult due to the technical layout. TQ went to Nicholas Lee with P.Y.Tang and EC Wee lining up 2nd and 3rd in the grid.

Top 10 Qualifying Standings (A-Main Modified Class)
1. Nicholas Lee - Tamiya TRF417/Speed Passion/Speed Passion/Reedy - 21 laps 6:07.343
2. P.Y.Tang - XRAY T3'11/ORCA Vritra/ORCA QX1/ORCA Infinite - 21 laps 6:09.499
3. EC Wee - XRAY T3'11/ORCA Vritra/ORCA RX2/ORCA Infinite - 21 laps 6:14.552
4. Chee Lip Keong - Tamiya TRF417/LRP/LRP/H-Energy - 20 laps 6:06.910
5. Hasron - Yokomo BD5/ORCA Vritra/ORCA RX2/ORCA Infinite - 20 laps 6:10.038
6. Colin Tong - XRAY T3 Exotek/ORCA Vritra/ORCA RX2/Team Powers - 20 laps 6:11.826
7. Kevin Wong - TOP Photon CEFX/Tekin - 19 laps 6:02.254
8. HJ Quek - XRAY T3 Exotek/Tekin/Thunder Power - 19 laps 6:08.310
9. William AJ - Tamiya 416X/Novak/Novak - 19 laps 6:08.310
10. Leonard Sim - TOP Photon/ORCA Vritra/ORCA QX1/ORCA Infinite - 9 laps 2:58.656









As expected, the finals for Modified Class will be a tight race for Nicholas Lee and P.Y.Tang. Final A1 started off clean, with P.Y.Tang looking with a faster pace following closely behind Nicholas Lee. Unfortunately, P.Y.Tang traction rolled in the in-field allowing EC Wee to pass. While Nicholas Lee running away for the win, it was a tough battle for 2nd, EC Wee closing up every line. P.Y.Tang then made a move at the end of straights braking very late, overtaking 2nd. Final A2 was unlucky for Nicholas Lee as he spun out corner 3 causing accidents and seeing him retired from battery falling out. P.Y.Tang cruised in for the win with EC Wee in 2nd and Hasron with a consistent run in 3rd. Final A3 was neck to neck to the end for the top 2 who was still fighting for the 1st overall. This final saw 3 different drivers led the run, with Chee Lip Keong leading, when P.Y.Tang and Nicholas Lee made early mistakes. P.Y.Tang caught up in 2nd place trying to overtake but 2 contacts with Chee Lip Keong created a chance for Nicholas Lee to pass and took the lead. Less than a minute to go, Nicholas Lee and P.Y.Tang was neck to neck up to the 6th-minute, unable to pass P.Y.Tang had to settle for 2nd with 144/1000th seconds behind.

Top 10 Final Standings (A-Main Modified Class)
1. Nicholas Lee - Tamiya TRF417/Speed Passion/Speed Passion/Reedy - 2 pts
2. P.Y.Tang - XRAY T3'11/ORCA Vritra/ORCA QX1/ORCA Infinite - 3 pts

XRAY Gear Differential Set for T3 coming soon @ Quantum!



Complete gear differential set for XRAY T3 includes composite differential case and cover with pulley. Differential gears are made from tough composite material, precision-molded composite gears combined with light aluminum hardcoated outdrives, which create a lighter and super-smooth gear differential. This differential is NOT factory pre-assembled.



The advantage of the gear diff is that it is maintenance-free. When the diff is correctly built there is no need for maintenance for a very long time. There is no need to change oil on a regular basis, and there is no leakage due to the very good sealing system. The gear diff also increases on-power steering which is needed on almost all types of tracks. Works great for both carpet and asphalt tracks. Fits both 50mm & 52mm drive shafts
