XRAY XB8E'24 - 1 / 8 ELECTRIC BUGGY 350161

All the work and refinements on the XB8 were incorporated based on our own experiences and also from the vast majority of feedback from drivers all around the world. New ideas and prototypes were long-term tested by the factory team worldwide to ensure the improvements would work well in all track conditions and tracks in Europe, America, and Asia.

At one of the world’s most competitive off-road races – the ROAR National Championship, it was XRAY’s Ty Tessmann who brought the first ROAR National Champion title to the XB8 platform. Tested and successfully run in the highest competition races so now you can enjoy the same winning platform.

Designed, developed, and fully manufactured in-house at the XRAY factory in Slovakia, Europe, using the most high-tech German & Swiss machines and premium European materials, crafted with XRAY's legendary attention to detail by our artistic production specialists. The XB8 is truly a masterpiece.

Features

• All-new shorter chassis with specially milled flex areas significantly improves traction on all surfaces.
• New rear shock tower made from Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum increases stability on all surfaces and improves strength & reliability.
• The XB8E’24 features multi-adjustable 3-in-1 shock caps and includes 3 different seals – ribbed membrane, cell membrane and O-ring. The new shocks can be assembled in 3 different alternatives – emulsion / rebound / zero rebound, each one suitable for different track conditions.
• Reinforced front and rear bulkheads were updated for added strength to ensure higher reliability and to improve the seal between the main bulkhead and cover plate.
• The design of the semi-split bulkhead allows to adjust the angle of the CV joint depending on the track conditions, traction of the track and ride height used.
• The differential crown gear and bevel drive gear feature specially designed profiles of the 46T and 13T gears for a perfectly matched engagement for smoother operation, less drag and significantly longer lifespan.
• The high-volume differentials improve vehicle control and consistency over long runs and enhance reliability. The differentials feature larger capacity cases and larger internal gears with more teeth for improved differential moment. The larger oil volume and the shape of the gear teeth reduce overheating for improved consistency. The stronger diff pin design also improves reliability.
• Front & rear suspension holders for semi-split bulkheads are redesigned for an expanded range of set-up adjustments.
• Front upper arms have additional mounting holes for the optional front upper arm wings. The wings increase downforce on the front suspension for increased traction and helps to keep the buggy nose down.
• The chassis features chamfered front edges which prevents dirt pick-up when the chassis contacts the track. The chamfered edges will not “cut” the dirt, but rather the dirt will slide along the chamfered edges and not get stuck at the front of the chassis.
• Wickerbill rear wing features more downforce that helps increase traction when needed. 12 pre-marked airflow hole positions can be opened to reduce downforce to fine tune handling characteristics as needed. The wickerbill plate is mounted via 5 screws for easy changes.
• The battery holder features tweak-free split battery holder to mount the saddle packs. This battery holder will accommodate both standard and ‘shorty’ packs, with the shorty packs having the added ability to move front/back for additional weight balance adjustment.
• The saddle pack battery layout features a moulded electronics mounting plate that is positioned next to the servo. The speed control, receiver and transponder are all installed on this plate for easy removal and maintenance.
