Xray XB8 2024 - Luxurious 1:8 Racing Nitro Buggy KIT 350019
Team Development.
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.
Perfection.
Designed in virtual reality using the world's most sophisticated CAD tools, and manufactured using the world's best machining and molding machinery, the XB8 achieves a level of perfection in all details that is second to none.
USA Champion.
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.
European Champions.
The XRAY XB8 platform displayed its incredible performance advantage by winning the European Championships in the hands of Bruno Coelho.
Made in Europe.
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.
XB8 Platform.
XRAY proudly presents our new XB8 with the latest refinements to our successful XB8 platform, race-proven at the highest levels of competition around the world.
Chassis.
All-new shorter chassis with specially milled flex areas significantly improves traction on all surfaces.
Central Drive Shaft.
New shorter rear central driveshaft matches the new chassis dimensions.
Shock Towers.
New rear shock tower made from Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum increases stability on all surfaces and improves strength & reliability.
Shocks.
The XB8’24 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.
Shock Cap 3-in-1.
All new 3-in-1 shock caps allow assembly in 3 different configurations – emulsion / rebound / zero rebound, each suitable for different track conditions.
Diff Bulkheads.
Front & rear bulkheads feature a semi-split design for easy diff access while adding the valuable diff height adjustment. The bulkhead also aligns the front central driveshaft with a reduced operating angle for less friction and reduced wear on the CV joint components and improved driveline efficiency.
Redesigned Bulkhead V2.
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 revised bearing inserts also feature improved dust resistance and prevent debris from entering the bulkhead assemblies while offering the valuable differential height adjustment.
Diff Height Adjustment.
The diff height adjustment of the semi-split bulkheads uses eccentric bushings to set the diff position. The diff height has 3 different settings. The diff height adjustment is a vital tuning option that allows quick set-up adaption for all different track conditions.
The ideal position will vary depending on the track conditions and ride height.
Central Drive Train.
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.
Matched Gears.
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.
Gear Differential.
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.
Easy Diff Access.
The semi-split bulkhead design and compact front bumper allows direct access to the differential while the entire suspension assembly remains mounted on the car.
Steering System.
The steering system includes an Ackermann plate and graphite servo saver component shape to work with the semi-split bulkhead. To ensure servo saver reliability, the servo saver parts are moulded from graphite material which is more resistant and efficient in dusty conditions.
Suspension Holders.
Front & rear suspension holders for semi-split bulkheads are redesigned for an expanded range of set-up adjustments. The front upper suspension arm holder is also updated for the semi-split bulkhead.
Martin BayerFront Upper Arms.
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.
Optional wings are available in Lexan and Carbon alternatives.
Suspension Arms.
To ensure the performance and reliability, the Pivot Ball suspension arms and optional C-hub suspension are molded from special composite mixture. The rear suspension arms are molded from extra-hard composite mixture that makes the car easier to drive. The front lower and upper arms feature a composite mixture change from soft to medium. The optional front lower C-hub suspension arm is molded from a hard composite mixture.
Diff Gears & Drivetrain Ratio.
Specifically chosen gear ratio provides sufficient adjustments range. Differential main gears are manufactured from HUDY Gear Steel on a precision manual gear machine. This material was specially formulated and developed for use in gears. All gears are hardened to provide the longest possible lifespan.
A wide range of different gears — spur gear, clutchbell, crown gear — is available for perfect set-up and tailoring to particular racing conditions.
• Clutchbells are available in sizes of 13T and 14T.
• Spur gears are available in a range of 46T, 47T, and 48T.
