Xray have introduced the 2018 edition of their 2016/17 EOS winning XB4 1/10th 4WD buggy kit. The car, that also is reigning IFMAR World Champion, EFRA European as well as US Champion, received some subtle updates to better cope with the rigours of today’s ultra-competitive Modified racing. First up is a redesigned chassis that accommodates a new, lower motor mount to lower the overall centre of gravity. The corresponding centre bulkhead lowers the position of the centre drivetrain for higher corner speeds especially on high-bite surfaces while the updated side guards add to the all-new low CG setup. In the suspension compartment, improved lower bushings for the shock absorbers allow for smoother and more precise shock shaft movement. The 2018 kit is rounded out by updated front and rear differential crown gears whose greater precision leads to quieter operation and increased reliability.
