Track-Tested Engineering from XRAY 350011 XB8 2016 Nitro Buggy
RC racers will recognise the XRAY 350011 XB8 2016 Nitro Buggy as a purpose-built contender that balances strength and setup flexibility. Developed for demanding off-road circuits, the kit gives tuners the parts and geometry needed to optimise lap times and consistency.
Chassis Craftsmanship and Design Details
The XB8 chassis uses 3mm CNC-machined Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum to keep weight low while maximising rigidity where it matters. That construction helps the buggy absorb jumps and aggressive cornering without sacrificing responsiveness.
XRAY Multi-Flex Technology lets drivers dial chassis flex to match track grip and surface changes. The revised wing mount and rear brace shed weight and refine how the chassis transfers energy, improving overall balance during hard acceleration and landings.
Suspension Setup and Drivetrain Features
Suspension geometry focuses on traction and repeatable handling. Longer rear arms and stiffer lower arms boost lateral stability, and the pivot ball suspension lowers the chance of binding in dusty or rough conditions to keep ride height predictable.
The drivetrain is a full-time shaft-driven 4WD layout with large-volume gear differentials filled with silicone oil for tunable diff action. HUDY Spring Steel drive shafts are used to provide dependable power transfer and longevity under race loads.
Steering Precision and On-Track Adjustments
Fine control is built into the XB8 through an adjustable dual-arm steering system with selectable Ackermann and a graphite-moulded servo saver for improved feedback. Quick bump steer and toe adjustments simplify setup changes between practice sessions and mains.
