Xray GTX8 1/8th Nitro GT chassis

Xray have introduced the GTX8, the latest evolution of their 1/8th GT platform based off their successful XB8 1/8th offroad buggy. Featuring a whole wrath of changes that includes all new front & rear diffs with increased oil capacity to increase traction & consistency, other changes include new front upper arms with reduced caster to improve the steering characteristics and decreases tire wear. Harder lower front arms aim to increase response and corner speed, while car’s backbone, the chassis fits soft & hard radio trays to adjust flex for various track conditions. In the back of the car there is new rear uprights with 8x16x5mm outer ball-bearings for increased reliability and lifespan, all new narrower rear suspension arm holders and longer rear arms for increased stability & grip. There is a new 4-shoe clutch with significantly improved gear-shifting, better engagement, improved acceleration & reduced wear, while on all 4 corners there is updated shock membranes with reduced air gap and an all-new shock cap with 4 vent holes to compliment the new shock membrane. A longer rear camber link and the inclusion of 2.8mm front and 3.0mm rear anti-roll bars complete the changes.

Rebellion-RC WTC Mount for X1

More from RC-Carbonstore’s Rebellion-RC brand for the Xray X1 formula chassis is this WTC Mount. This new upgrade allows the user to mount the rear wing in front of the holder, giving the possibility to set the wing much further forward which in turn leads to more front traction while retaining rear stability. The mount also gives you the option to fix the rear wing directly to the chassis, which leads to much more rear grip and better handling due to the reduction in vibrations from the wing transferred to the rear pod.

Redworks introduce new XB-series carbon optionals

Redworks from France have introduced new carbon fibre optionals for the Xray XB2 and XB4 off-road buggies. First up is the L4 rear shock tower for the XB2, a low-profile variant for the use with pre-2018 rear shocks of the XB2 or XB4. The updated geometry offers less droop and a lower centre of gravity which can be beneficial in certain track conditions. Next up and also made for the XB2 is a flex battery hold down that allows for a softer chassis flex setting while doing away with the need to use battery foam spacers thanks to multiple battery stop positions. Another flex battery strap come for the XB4 4WD buggy – the updated design results in a softer chassis flex setting for improved drivability in a variety of conditions. Last but not least comes a small carbon fibre electronics mounting plate that ensures quick and easy mounting and removing of the buggy’s electronics. All parts are machined from high-quality carbon fibre and they are available now.

The Awesomatix, Serpent and Yokomo specific mixed sets include natural titan and silver anodised alloy screws while the Xray set utilises orange anodised alloy fasteners to match the car’s alloy parts. Using the screws will lower the vehicle’s overall weight while offering higher corrosion resistance and cooler looks than the standard steel fasteners.

Xray XB2 DIV front wing

Coming from Xray and made for their XB2 series of buggies is the DIV front wing. Moulded from high-quality Lexan material the wing is of a multi-purpose design, allowing to mount it in front or behind the front tower and thus front axles, with the mounting positions having an influence on weight distribution, centre of gravity as well as downforce. Pre-marked dimples help with easy and straight attachment while different gurney heights help to fine-tune aerodynamics.

Leadfinger XB2 A2 Tactic body shell

Available now from Leadfinger Racing is the Tactic A2 body shell for the Xray XB2 2WD buggy. Like the A2 Tactic bodies before it, the XB2 body has an added roof vent that allows for better cooling for today’s sensitive electronics. Running cooler has it’s advantages and feeding cool air directly over the power house is a welcomed upgrade. Behind that, LFR has designed a top fin that joins into a rear swoop for added stability and increased rear down force. The combination of the two help give the XB2 a balanced and precise feel during mid corner rotation and on power exit. The all-new optional nose scoop for the XB2 has been designed specifically for the ’18 and ’19 Xray models. The scoop is designed to enhance steering and jumping capabilities to the front of the car. LFR has designed the scoop to not only be an effective advantage, but also finish off the XB2 with a much cleaner over all aggressive look. The body sold in clear, ready for paint, and including two pre-cut Tactic wings as well as stickers and window masks.
