World Champion Choice
“With the most extreme conditions of 1/8th off-road racing I need to have complete trust in my equipment.  With Team XRAY I know I get the complete attention to detail, constant product development and in-house R&D.  With the soon-to-be-completed purpose built indoor test facility alongside the renowned world class manufacturing capability of XRAY meant my choice was simple.  My future with Team XRAY and the XB8'17 is already here, I can't wait to get going and see you at the tracks.  The XB8'17 is such a beautiful machine, I hope I bring it the results it deserves.  Look out for my World Champions 'tech tips' and set-up advice throughout 2017 on the XRAY Facebook page and website.”
