Xray X8‘26 1:8 Electric 4WD pan car

Xray has unveiled its latest 1:8 Electric 4WD pan car, the X8’26.  A category the Slovakian manufacturer only entered into in 2024, the latest kit features a revamped chassis design which positions the batteries directly on the chassis for the lowest centre of gravity.  The car also has an extended wheelbase which improves the vehicle’s handling characteristics.  It also gets updated independent front suspension with a system of bushings and rubber O-rings to adjust suspension flex.  The rear suspension is also mounted to the chassis with adjustable flex for enhanced performance.  The motor is positioned as far back as possible, just in front of the rear suspension.  The kit comes with a new 35T Aluminium Pulley which allows for the use of larger front tires, enhancing traction on bumpy tracks and improving steering responsiveness.  Another new part is the One-Way Front Axle which comes with a hard-coated one-way that improves performance.
