Xray XB8E 2018 - Electric Racing 1/8 Buggy Kit
Based on the ultra-successful XB8 platform, XRAY proudly presents the 2018-spec XB8E which incorporates the latest improvements and refinements gathered by the team, race-proven in the highest competition races around the world.
All-new chassis with more space between front wheels and side guards, new positions for rear brace for improved chassis flex characteristics, and chamfered front edges for less dirt pick-up
All-new chassis design is now fully compatible between XB8 & XB8E platforms
All-new wing mount is 40% lighter with super-low CG. With considerably less weight behind the rear suspension this significantly improves handling characteristics. All-new construction allows more flex. Features new, optimized wing mounting positions
All-new rear brace between wing mount and rear chassis brace prevents rear gearbox breakage during impacts, as well as moving the transfer of energy to a different part of the chassis
All-new weight transfer from rear wing to the middle of the car reduces tension on the rear diff bulkhead
All-new rear body holder
All-new rear shock tower features two lines of shock absorber mounting positions and an updated design to allow fitment of the new wing mount and gearbox brace
Harder rear lower arms for increased side stability and improved durability in hot conditions
All-new stronger, reinforced steering ball joints for increased reliability
All-new composite graphite ball cup between steering ball and nut ensures free operation of pivot balls even in extremely dusty conditions
All-new improved diff O-rings for more precise differential sealing
Softer shock membranes for improved shock performance in bumpy conditions
Front & rear CVD drive shafts for increased rear traction
2.6mm rear sway bar for increased traction
All-new stronger head screws for diff bulkheads for more reliability
High-speed body for improved handling on high-speed tracks and improved rotation in tight corners
