Xray announce the XB4 2WD buggy

Xray announce XB4 2WD

Xray announce the soon release of the XB4 2WD off-road buggy. Prototypes of the buggy have been seen in the hands of Xray’s factory drivers like Martin Bayer for some time now and giving its name – XB4 – the buggy is based on Xray’s successful 4WD buggy. This means the vehicle will very likely feature a rear mounted LiPo saddle or shorty pack with a mid or even front motor configuration – ideal for the upcoming indoor carpet racing season. The kit will also see the introduction of a new cab forward body shell with a radical cabin design and a low rear end section. More information about the XB4 2WD will become available very soon.

Team C TM4 – Preview photos

German Team C Racing distributors Absima have first preview images of the forthcoming TM4 4WD electric off-road buggy available. Previously only seen on somewhat blurry teaser photos the company now released detail pictures of the buggy that made a first public appearance at the recent IFMAR World Championships in Chico, California. The buggy makes use of a design that becomes more and more popular in the 4WD class and that uses 2S shorty LiPo battery packs in favour of the 2S saddle packs that dominated the all-wheel class for decades. The buggy is based on a hard anodised aluminium chassis, features aluminium suspension mounts with plastic inserts to adjust toe and anti-squat settings and the drivetrain is equipped with CV-style driveshafts all-round. A carbon fibre upper deck, carbon shock towers and aluminium big bore shock absorbers round out the package. The chassis is topped-off by a sleek cab forward body shell.
