Yellow Skull
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my honor to introduce the Radial Dynamics RDT steering pump.
With a full race season of testing complete and the 2022 Ultra4 4400 National Championship to its credit, this is the next generation in Trophy Truck (TT) pump technology. The RDT is a significantly advanced design, fully engineered in-house to deliver improved performance, reliability, and serviceability in a smaller, lighter package compared to any existing TT pump on the market.
Starting with the basics, the RDT features a massive 20cc/rev displacement and flow control cartridge valve that regulates max pump output to 9 GPM. While this pump does require an external pressure relief valve, it can handle relief pressure settings up to 2000 PSI.
The inlet is a -16 size and the -8 outlet port is a side exit from the 6061 billet aluminum body that can be swapped to either side of the pump for easier plumbing. The ¾” keyed shaft features large ball bearing support and the internal port plates are manufactured from a special aerospace grade bronze that provides the ultimate wear and cavitation erosion resistance.
The overall size of the RDT is notably reduced from that of a TT pump, weighing in at an astonishing 7 lbs compared to 11+ lbs for a cast iron TT and 8.5 lbs for the next lightest aluminum TT pump.
Pricing and Availability: Retail price for the RDT is $2000. The final components are being queued for manufacturing as we speak and the first batch of 40 pumps is estimated to be ready to ship by the end of February.
Pre-orders will be available on Wednesday to reserve pumps in this first batch and to be clear, pre-ordering is NOT used to fund R&D. The R&D phase is complete, fits/tolerances established, materials finalized, and the design has been proven this year in the most punishing Ultra4 and rock crawling conditions possible.
There is so much more to tell than can fit in one post so I will be sharing more details throughout the week. Photos are of prototype RDT pumps and renderings are the production design, for which the only changes are a revised front mounting bolt pattern and billet rear cover.
