Xray RX8’26 1:8 Nitro Onroad car

Xray has unveiled their latest 1:8 Nitro Onroad car, the RX8’26.  A category in which Xray founder Juarj Hudy has deep roots, the latest car from the Slovakian manufacturer gets an all-new chassis design which features new flex characteristics & a lowered centre of gravity.   This all-new chassis uses M4 screws throughout, for quick and reliable assembly and maintenance.  The chassis sides and engine position have been milled down for laydown servo mounting & lowered engine position.  In the drivetrain the rear solid axle & front one-way outdrives are lightened to reduce drivetrain rotational mass while the front aluminium one-way axle is now hard coated for improved durability & reliability.  The CVD rear driveshafts are matched to the lightweight aluminium wheel axles and super lightweight rear solid axle
2nd gear shaft has been strategically lightened to reduce rotating mass, and heat treated for maximum lifespan.  All-new 3 ball-bearing equipped belt tensioners increase reliability and prevent belt skipping.  The RX8’26’s piston brake system features an aluminium stand, and brake pads with special material, glued in-house.  New adapter for brake disc and pulley is made from a hard coated, lightweight aluminum 7075 T6 material.  A new carbon radio plate features a unique flex system with two flex alternatives and it uses a laydown throttle servo configuration to lower CG.  A new linkage system is mounted on top of the radio plate which allow the servo to be installed super low on the chassis.
