Xray XB808 Alu Caster Blocks

Xray have released some 10° alu caster blocks for the XB808, which are CNC-machined from premium Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum and hard coated for extra durability and long life. Ultra-strong construction provides very long life and durability in even the most extreme racing conditions. These lightweight blocks feature ‘zero kingpin’ suspension geometry and the pre-set 10° caster block is integrated and non-adjustable. Combined with the XB808 front kick-up of 10° this block gives a total caster angle of 20° for increased steering and precision.

Xray XB808 Matched Racing springs

Xray have released these high-performance racing springs for their XB808 buggy, that have been specially developed to give better balance and an additional range of choices to fine-tune your car. Developed through extensive testing and racing experience, these linear springs use the same thickness of wire for each spring, and stiffness is controlled by the number of coils. Softer springs have a lower “C” value and more coils; stiffer springs have a higher “C” value and fewer coils. Available as a pair of springs – to fit front and rear – the springs are individually measured, controlled, inspected and matched to provide identical damping characteristics. During the selection process, each spring is compressed in several fine increments and the values recorded, and then each spring is matched with another spring of identical characteristics.

Xray T2’008 Asphalt Upper Deck set

Xray T2′008 Asphalt Upper Deck set

Xray have released this graphite, asphalt-spec, front and rear upper deck set for the T2’008 touring car. CNC machined from premium grade graphite material, they have been specially designed and optimized for rubber-tire racing conditions. The narrow design provides appropriate torsion and flex, while the elongated profile reduces unwanted tweak in crashes. A new thinner 2mm top deck makes the car easier to drive because it increases overall traction and so Xray recommend using this optional top deck on low-traction tracks, mainly on asphalt but they can be also used on low-traction carpet. Suitable for the T2’008 EU edition only.
