Part Number: XRA350011
Description: XRAY XB8 2016 Spec Luxury 1/8 Nitro Off-Road Buggy Kit - XRA350011
Chassis
The XB8 chassis is an all-new design with completely redesigned weight balance to improve the car’s handling. The rear of the chassis is wider to increase stability, and the front is narrower to improve steering. The chassis is also 4mm shorter with weight balance moved forward (including engine, radio box, fuel tank, and center diff).
The chassis is CNC-machined from 3mm high-quality Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum, strategically machined in low-stress areas, and then anodized to make it as light as possible without affecting strength or rigidity. Non-essential material below the engine, fuel tank, and differential was removed to allow for the lowest possible center of gravity and appropriate chassis flex.
Side Guards
The all-new design of the side guards incorporates a larger bottom radius to make the car more stable on rough tracks. The radius on the side guards increases the car’s longitudinal flex. The side guards are moulded from all-new composite mixture for increased flex that helps generate more traction.
The tough composite side guards protect the car, muffler, and fuel tank from side impacts. The side guards perfectly fit the chassis and seal against dirt.
Chassis Braces
Front and rear chassis braces have significant influence on chassis stiffness and flex, and as such have great impact on handling under different grip conditions. The chassis braces are all-new and completely redesigned.
The front chassis brace is shorter for increased flex, thus generating more traction.
The rear brace has a completely new design with a direct mounting to the rear bulkhead instead to the rear shock tower. The mounting to the bulkhead eliminates transfer of vibrations and energy from the suspension via shock towers. This helps to improve the landing and generates more off-power traction.
The rear brace is moulded from a medium-stiff composite mixture for proper flex & rigidity, and allows the mounting of optional graphite inserts to reinforce the chassis brace to make it even stiffer (suitable for high-traction conditions).
Suspension Concept
Suspension geometry is one of the most important features of any RC model car, yet at the same time is also one of the most difficult and challenging features for a designer to create and perfect.
Suspension is always a mixture of the following:
From arms & suspension blocks to light-yet-robust steering blocks, every suspension part has been specially designed for 1/8 off-road racing to provide responsive handling and performance characteristics under all racing conditions.
Over the years, XRAY has successfully gained and applied extensive knowledge of suspension geometry & stiffness, all of which has been carefully considered while designing suspension parts. The ultra-lightweight suspension parts are molded from special composite materials that make the parts very light, yet very durable to withstand the rigors of high-performance racing.
• Design & shape of individual suspension parts
• Flex & hardness
• Material characteristics
• Mounting method
• Ability to retain freedom of movement
• Geometry & position of connecting point mounting points
Steering Blocks
The front steering block is a vital part of the pivot ball suspension, and the new design changes from 1 pivot ball to a conventional steering system with 2 pivot balls that ensures no binding in dusty conditions while ensuring a stable ride height in all different track conditions.
The smart design of the steering block allows one steering block to be used either on left or right side for easy servicing.
The steering blocks feature the following integrated geometry adjustments:
• camber
• caster
• bump steer
• track-width
Rear Uprights
The all-new 1-piece rear upright has a new geometry, generating more traction and helping the car to absorb bumps on rough parts of the track. The smart design allows the same upright to be used on both left & right sides.
The upright allows adjustment of the upper roll center by 3 different positions, and lower roll center by 2 different positions. The lower suspension pin on which the rear upright sits features 2 shims for wheelbase adjustment.
The uprights feature integrated geometry adjustments including:
• camber
• upper roll center
• lower roll center
• wheelbase
