The XRAY XB8E 2021 Spec 1/8 Electric Off-Road Buggy Kit builds on the ultra-successful XB8E family of buggies to create the most advanced XB8E thus-far. The 2021 Spec kit shares a majority of its parts with the XB8 platform with the addition of several details that have been fine-tuned for the electric buggy class. Wherever possible, the XB8 and XB8E share suspension and driveline components to streamline spares and tuning parts between the two cars without making any compromises to on-track performance. This minimizes the number of extra parts needed to support both nitro and electric editions even smaller for the recent generation XRAY 1/8 off-road platform.
XB8E 2021 Updates:
- E concept with two different layout alternatives:
- Rear motor position with a single battery position on the left
- Front motor position using saddle pack batteries in the rear
- “Eazy” body makes the car significantly easier to drive
- Redesigned chassis layout to accommodate the E platform with improved flex characteristics and balance weight mounting positions
- 2 piece battery holder for saddle pack layout improves balance and lowers vehicle CG
- Standard battery holder molded from harder material for reduced flex
- Includes two graphite servo holders, one for each motor/battery configuration
- Compact electronics mount for speedo and receiver when using the saddle pack battery configuration
- Servo saver stands with chassis lock to ensure secure installation and a shorter servo linkage for the servo position
- Stronger and longer servo saver spring has a greater working range
- Servo saver top deck with two chassis brace positions eliminates servo saver bind
- Shorter 93mm rear drive shafts improve outdrive clearance during extreme suspension travel
