• All-new chassis with more space between front wheels and side guards, new positions for rear brace for improved chassis flex characteristics, and chamfered front edges for less dirt pick-up
• chassis design is now fully compatible between XB8 & XB8E platforms
• wing mount is 40% lighter with super-low CG. With considerably less weight behind the rear suspension this significantly improves handling characteristics. All-new construction allows more flex. Features new, optimized wing mounting positions
• rear brace between wing mount and rear chassis brace prevents rear gearbox breakage during impacts, as well as moving the transfer of energy to a different part of the chassis
• weight transfer from rear wing to the middle of the car reduces tension on the rear diff bulkhead
• rear body holder
• rear shock tower features two lines of shock absorber mounting positions and an updated design to allow fitment of the new wing mount and gearbox brace
• Harder rear lower arms for increased side stability and improved durability in hot conditions
• stronger, reinforced steering ball joints for increased reliability
• composite graphite ball cup between steering ball and nut ensures free operation of pivot balls even in extremely dusty conditions
• improved diff O-rings for more precise differential sealing
• Softer shock membranes for improved shock performance in bumpy conditions
• Front & rear CVD drive shafts for increased rear traction
• 2.6mm rear sway bar for increased traction
• stronger head screws for diff bulkheads for more reliability
• High-speed body for improved handling on high-speed tracks and improved rotation in tight corners

  Development

  With my long-time experiences with 1/8 off-road racing, combined with the expertise I have gained from the R&D process at my previous projects at XRAY with XB2 and XB4 platforms, I have incorporated all the improvements & refinements to the XB8 platform to make it better, easier to work on, and more reliable. The all-new XB8E is based on the XB8 platform sharing all the finest features and specs you will really love.
