Xray Column – From XB8 To XB9

The 58th installment in the Xray column from Xray owner and chief designer Juraj Hudy is now online. In this months column, Juraj discusses the development of the new XB9 buggy platform in particular the creation of the final cab forward body shell.

After I had the “virtual“concept and idea, I needed to make a real 3D model from clay to have the feeling of every small detail. It took me several days to get the clay model where I wanted it to be.
