Xray X8 1:8 4WD Pan Car

Xray has announced something new to the market with the release of the brand new X8, an electric powered 4WD pan car with a solid rear axle and front one-way axle. This project is realised on the basis of many years of experience within the 1:8 onroad category and was designed by company founder Juraj Hudy, who himself started out RC racing in the sport’s oldest category. The X8 is designed with the mindset of ease-of-use and simplified setup, but most importantly being easy to drive. All of these requirements were fulfilled thanks to its concept, where all chassis components work in perfect symphony on the chassis. The pan car features a unique sandwich chassis design with a battery tray that is integrated from the top for longitudinal reinforcement of the lower chassis plate. The battery tray and lower chassis work together in a uniform flex system. The unique battery tray system of the X8 works together with the lower chassis plate in a uniform flex system and this allows the car to be adjusted for different flex characteristics for different track conditions. By adding or removing the screws on the front chassis brace the flex can be adjusted from very soft up to very stiff.
