Xray XB9E electric buggy announced
Xray introduce the XB9E 1/8th electric off-road buggy. The follow-up model of the long-running XB808E is based on the successful XB9 platform, making use of its gearboxes, drivetrain, suspension parts and shocks. The chassis though is developed from the ground up to create the optimum in weight balance, weight distribution and handling. The vehicle is based on a longer and wider 3mm 7075-T6 aluminium chassis with new side guards, a central battery mount and an updated – easy to remove – radio tray with sealed receiver box and carbon fibre servo mount plate. The 7075-T6 aluminium motor mount is of a sliding design and 2mm wider compared to the old variant for improved durability. Also new is the composite battery mount with higher barriers to securely fasten one 4S or two 2S LiPo battery packs while the speed controller finds its home on a large surface plate in-line with the battery.
