Following the presentation of their latest 1:8 Nitro Onroad kit earlier this month, Xray has now unveiled the 2026 edition of the electric option – the RX8E’26. Sharing many of the updates and improved made to the nitro version, key changes for the electric power include a new motor mount that is redesigned for improved stability using M4 screws and supports a top-mounted 40mm cooling fan.

A new 2mm ‘Stiff Weave’ carbon fibre chassis is ideally suited for medium to higher grip conditions and has similar feeling to that of an alloy chassis yet is lighter. The 2mm thickness gives that all important lower centre of gravity increasing corner speed.
