XRAY 350009 XB8 Competition Nitro Buggy Kit  [XR-350009]

XRAY 350009 XB8 Overview for Track Racers

The XRAY 350009 XB8 is a precision 1/8 scale nitro buggy engineered for racers who want consistent lap times and reliable handling. Its redesigned chassis reduces dirt build-up and improves flex characteristics to suit demanding off-road tracks.

Chassis Engineering Highlights

The XB8 chassis has been reworked to give more clearance between the front wheels and the side guards, improving stability. A new rear brace adjusts chassis flex while chamfered front edges cut down on dirt pickup. The chassis fits both the XB8 and XB8E platforms for racer flexibility.

Suspension Tuning and Control

Longer rear arms and a pivot ball suspension layout help the XB8 maintain traction across varied surfaces. Stiffer rear lower arms increase lateral stability in hot conditions, and built-in suspension settings let you tune quickly between practice and race runs.

Drivetrain Layout

The full-time shaft-drive 4WD system uses large-volume diffs with adjustable oil to dial in traction. HUDY Spring Steel drive shafts deliver reliable power transfer, while Swiss 7075 T6 aluminium parts keep strength high and weight low.

Engine Mounts and Clutch System

A high-torque clutch and CNC-machined aluminium engine mounts reduce chassis twist during aggressive acceleration and landings. The compact fuel tank includes a floating stone filter to help maintain fuel flow under race conditions.

Bodywork and Aero Details

The low-drag body profile improves stability on high-speed sections and the lightweight wing mount helps lower the centre of gravity. Tough composite side guards and a resilient wing are built to withstand impacts from close racing.

The XRAY 350009 XB8 suits experienced drivers seeking a track-focused nitro buggy with durable construction and race-tuneable components, while still being approachable for those moving up to serious competition.
