Xray XB4 Gamma 4D ultra-lightweight body

Xray introduce this ultra-lightweight version of the XB4 Gamma 4D body, designed especially for low traction conditions. Lower weight reduces the roll of the car and improves corner speed, while the profile of the body improves the stability and increases downforce towards the rear of the car to help generate more traction for the car. The high-performance, low-profile aerodynamic body for XB4D is designed by Xray to perfectly fit the car and work especially in low traction conditions. Specially designed to maximise rear down force to increase traction the front was designed to give optimal steering. The sides of the body and cockpit are as flat as possible to allow air to flow around the body for improved side stability. On the top of roof are two integrated flow channels for proper airflow. Made from high-quality premium Lexan material.

Xray XB8 & XB8e 2021 1/8th buggies

Xray have introduced their updated for 2021 XB8 and XB8e buggy, which are both more focussed on refinement rather than major updates. The XB8 sports an updated chassis design that incorporates keyed steering posts, new fuel tank position and new mounting positions for chassis balance weights, there are also shorter 93mm rear drive shafts which improve outdrive clearance during extreme suspension travel. A new body design improves aero characteristics and making the car easier to drive with other updates including improved braking cams with an updated design for improved braking efficiency, stronger and longer conical servo saver spring has a greater adjustment range, an all-new servo saver with chassis locked posts for more secure installation and finally an all-new servo saver top deck that integrates with the new servo saver. The XB8e incorporates many of the same updates but also has a new E concept with two different layout alternatives, rear motor position with a single battery position on the left or front motor position using saddle pack batteries in the rear. A 2-piece battery holder for saddle pack layout improves balance and lowers vehicle CG while the standard battery holder is moulded from new harder material for reduced flex. Also included is two graphite servo holders, one for each motor/battery configuration as well as a compact electronics mount for speedo and receiver when using the saddle pack battery configuration.

Xray XB2 ultra-lightweight Gamma 2C body

From Xray is this ultra-lightweight version of the XB2 Gamma 2C body, designed especially for high traction conditions. The profile of the body improves stability in fast corners, chicanes and helps with rotation in tight corners. The high-performance, low-profile aerodynamic body for XB2C is designed to perfectly fit the car and work in most track conditions especially for higher grip tracks. More downforce was added to the middle to increase rotation in slow corners with less downforce in the rear and front giving more corner speed without diving too much. Made from high-quality premium Lexan material.
