About the XB8 2024

Improved Design and Chassis

The XRAY XB8 2024 1/8 Nitro 4WD Off-Road Competition Buggy Kit boasts a meticulously refined design and chassis that exemplify perfection and innovation. The all-updated shorter chassis, crafted from high-quality 3mm Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum, features specially milled flex areas that significantly improve traction across various surfaces. This CNC-machined chassis is strategically lightened in low-stress areas without compromising its strength or rigidity, ensuring an optimal blend of stability, traction, and steering responsiveness. The enhanced chassis layout, combined with a shorter wheelbase, reduces sensitivity to changing track conditions, offering racers superior control and performance. Additionally, the chassis is compatible with both soft and hard composite radio boxes, providing flexible tuning options. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail in the XB8's chassis design make it a standout choice for serious competitors.

Drivetrain

The drivetrain and braking systems of the XRAY XB8 2024 are engineered for maximum efficiency and reliability, ensuring smooth operation and consistent performance under the most demanding conditions. The central drive shaft and differentials feature specially matched gears, including a 46T crown gear and a 13T pinion gear, designed for smoother operation and extended lifespan. The high-volume differentials improve vehicle control and consistency over long runs, with larger capacity cases and gears that reduce overheating and enhance reliability. The braking system is equally impressive, featuring laser-cut, precision flat-ground steel brake disks that provide fade-free braking, even under extreme conditions. The small, slim brake disks and pre-glued brake pads are heat-treated for maximum durability, ensuring consistent braking performance. This combination of advanced drivetrain and braking technologies allows the XB8 to deliver superior handling and reliability on any track.

Suspension

The suspension system of the XRAY XB8 2024 is designed for exceptional adjustability and performance, allowing racers to fine-tune their setup for any track condition. The front and rear shock towers, CNC-machined from 4mm Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum, feature multiple shock absorber positions for precise shock angle adjustments. The innovative 3-in-1 shock caps enable the assembly of shocks in emulsion, rebound, or zero rebound configurations, each suited to different driving styles and track conditions. The suspension geometry is fully adjustable, with integrated suspension settings that allow for quick and easy changes. The Pivot Ball and optional C-hub suspension arms are molded from special composite mixtures to ensure reliability and performance, while the redesigned bulkheads provide valuable differential height adjustments. This extensive range of suspension adjustments, combined with high-quality materials and smart design, makes the XB8 a highly adaptable and competitive choice for off-road racing.
