Xray XB9 coming soon

Xray are running a teaser on their site, and also on their advertising banner on our site, for the upcoming XB9, the follow up to the successful XB8 1/8th scale buggy. We have no information on the new car, but we would expect that because they have used an all new series number that the car will be a completely new platform. The Slovakian company signed multiple European Champion Renaud Savoya back in September, could this already be the first results of that collaboration?
