The XRAY 350009 XB8: A Masterpiece in Nitro RC Racing
The XRAY 350009 XB8 is not just another nitro buggy; it's a testament to precision engineering and cutting-edge design. Crafted for the serious RC racer, this 1/8 scale model features an all-new chassis that enhances flexibility and reduces dirt accumulation, making it ideal for competitive off-road racing.
Advanced Chassis Design
The redesigned chassis of the XB8 offers more space between the front wheels and side guards, improving overall stability. The inclusion of a new rear brace enhances chassis flex characteristics, while chamfered front edges reduce dirt pick-up. This chassis is compatible with both the XB8 and XB8E platforms, offering versatility for racers who want the best of both worlds.
Suspension and Handling
With longer rear arms and a pivot ball suspension concept, the XB8 provides superior handling across various track conditions. The harder rear lower arms increase side stability, especially in hot climates, while the integrated suspension settings allow for quick adjustments to suit different racing styles.
Powerful Drivetrain
The XB8's drivetrain is a full-time shaft-driven 4WD system featuring large volume differentials with adjustable oil viscosity. The HUDY Spring Steel drive shafts ensure maximum efficiency and durability, while the Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum components provide strength without adding unnecessary weight.
Precision Engine and Clutch
Equipped with a high-torque clutch and CNC-machined aluminum engine mounts, the XB8 ensures smooth power transfer and minimal chassis bending during jumps. The compact fuel tank with a floating stone filter guarantees a consistent fuel supply, even in the most demanding race conditions.
Innovative Body and Wing
The high-speed body design of the XB8 improves handling on fast tracks, while the lightweight wing mount lowers the center of gravity for better control. The durable composite materials used in the side guards and wing are designed to withstand severe impacts.
