The XRAY 350011 XB8 2016 Nitro Buggy is engineered for off-road competition, offering a platform that responds to careful setup work. Its component layout and materials are focused on delivering consistent behaviour over varied dirt and loose surfaces.
The core chassis is precision CNC-machined from 3mm Swiss 7075 T6 aluminum to give a solid, lightweight base for tuning. That alloy choice maintains stiffness while keeping the centre of gravity low for predictable handling.
Multi-Flex technology provides several chassis flex positions so drivers can tune corner entry and traction. The updated wing mount and rear brace reduce rotating mass and help stabilise landings during high-speed sections.
Suspension geometry focuses on traction and smooth operation. Longer rear arms increase cornering stability while stiffer lower arms resist lateral deflection. The pivot ball setup reduces binding on rough tracks to preserve consistent cornering height.
Power is routed through a full-time shaft 4WD layout with large gear diffs that can be tuned using different silicone oils for varying lock. HUDY Spring Steel drive shafts are fitted to handle repeated loads and maintain clean power transfer.
Adjustability is extensive, with dual-arm steering that supports Ackermann tweaks and a graphite servo saver for reliable feedback. Bump steer adjustments and quick swaybar changes make it straightforward to refine handling between practice runs.
With a focus on adjustability and robust parts, the XRAY 350011 XB8 2016 Nitro Buggy suits tuners who want predictable handling and a strong drivetrain for club and regional racing.
