XB8 Platform.

Based on the ultra-successful XB8 platform, XRAY proudly presents the 2018-spec XB8 which incorporates the latest improvements and refinements gathered by the team, race-proven in the highest competition races around the world.

All-new 2018.

• All-new rear shock tower features two lines of shock absorber mounting positions and an updated design to allow fitment of the new wing mount and gearbox brace
• Harder rear lower arms for increased side stability and improved durability in hot conditions
• All-new stronger, reinforced steering ball joints for increased reliability
• All-new composite graphite shims between steering ball and nut ensures free operation of pivot balls even in extremely dusty conditions
• All-new improved diff O-rings for more precise differential sealing
