Xray XB8 high-speed buggy body shell

Coming from Xray and made for the XB8 off-road buggy is a new high-speed body shell. Moulded from genuine Lexan polycarbonate material the body sports a different cab design compared to the standard XB8 body with the lower windscreen angle and differently shaped roof section making for less aerodynamic drag and thus increased top speed. The new design also improves steering response at the expense of some overall stability. The body is a direct fit on the XB8 and XB8E’16.

RDRP XB2 aluminium steering plate

Revolution Design Racing Products have introduced an aluminium steering plate for the Xray XB2 series of cars. It is a direct replacement for the standard composite plate and machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium. Coming black or orange anodised the part adds stability to the steering section which can be beneficial especially on high-bite surfaces where the plate leads to a more crisp steering response as it does not wrap under load. The part is a direct replacement and usable on all XB2 and XT2 series kits.

RDRP XB2 brass RF & RR suspension mounts

Coming from Revolution Design Racing Products are the new brass RF and RR suspension mounts for the Xray XB2 series of cars. They are a direct replacement for the kit’s lightweight parts and add valuable weight especially when running in low-traction conditions or when the track is getting bumpier. Machined from black-coated brass and sporting gold-colour chamfered edges the parts weigh in at 12g (RF) and 15g (RR) which shifts the weight bias further back for improved traction and a more planted ride when running on bumpy tracks. The RF and RR suspension mounts fit all XB2 series cars and trucks except for the XB2D’17, they are available separately and can be used together or in a mix with the standard mounts to achieve the desired weight bias and driving feel.
